CVE-2026-2956
Published: 22 February 2026
Summary
CVE-2026-2956 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Dst-Admin Project Dst-Admin. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 9.3% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-2956 is a command injection vulnerability (CWE-74, CWE-77) affecting qinming99 dst-admin versions up to 1.5.0. The issue lies in the revertBackup function of the /home/restore file, where manipulation of the Name argument allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary commands.
The vulnerability enables remote exploitation (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and requires low privileges (PR:L) but no user interaction (UI:N), with unchanged scope (S:U). Successful exploitation results in low impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L), yielding a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.3.

Directly prevents command injection by validating and sanitizing the Name argument in the revertBackup function before command execution.
Establishes processes to identify, assess, and remediate flaws like this unpatched command injection in dst-admin up to 1.5.0.
Reduces impact of exploited command injection by enforcing least privilege on the low-privilege account required for remote access.
