FreePBX Gets Kicked in the Security Nuts — Again

Well, well, well. Looks like the geniuses over at FreePBX decided to put on a live demo of “How to Totally F**k Up Security 101.” The poor bastards had not one, not two, but a whole trio of flaming dumpster fires masquerading as “features.” We’re talking a critical SQL injection, a file-upload free-for-all, and—because why stop there—a glorious authentication bypass that just screams “Please, dear hacker, OWN ME.”

According to the report, some clever bastards realized they could combine these holes to basically do whatever the hell they wanted — remote code execution, dropping malicious files, disco-dancing through your PBX setup like it’s a goddamn house party. The best part? It affects multiple versions, so there’s a decent chance your system’s already acting as a spam relay for some shady crypto operation in Siberia.

FreePBX’s maintainers have now scrambled out of whatever rock they were sleeping under to release patches, so the threat level drops *slightly* below “imminent doom.” But let’s be honest — if you’re still running unpatched releases in 2025, you kind of deserve whatever fresh hell comes your way. Seriously, patch your f**king systems before the internet eats them alive.

Anyway, here’s the article that makes you want to scream into your coffee and set fire to your VoIP setup:

Reminds me of the time some bright spark plugged a PBX into the public internet without a firewall. The logs looked like a DDoS from hell, the phone bill looked like a ransom note, and I got blamed for it… so I “accidentally” wiped their voicemail. Twice.
