TL;DR What: Gammu SMSD — the daemon behind a huge number of SMS gateways, alerting rigs and 2FA senders — runs an operator-configured hook every time a text arrives. With the Files backend and RunOnReceive enabled, the SMS sender ID was escaped for use as a filename but not for the shell , and then appended to a /bin/sh -c command line. A sender ID containing shell metacharacters executed arbitrary commands as the gammu-smsd user. Impact: Remote, unauthenticated code execution triggered by sending a text message. Commands run with the daemon's privileges. Missing neutralization of special elements in an OS command (CWE-78). Fixed in: Gammu 1.43.3 . Advisory GHSA-9vjj-v46c-c5qf , published 25 July 2026, rated High (8.1) , credited to me as reporter. CVE requested, pending GitHub assignment. Why you should care Most command-injection bugs need the attacker to already be talking to your HTTP API. This one needs a phone number. Gammu SMSD sits on the receiving end of a modem or GSM dongle. Hospitals use it for on-call paging, monitoring systems use it for SMS alerts, and plenty of small shops use it as the cheap half of a 2FA setup. A very common configuration is: store incoming messages as files (the Files backend ), and run a script whenever one arrives ( RunOnReceive ) — to forward it, log it, or trigger something. The input to that script comes from the outside world over the cellular network. The sender doesn't authenticate to anything. And on many networks the sender ID is an arbitrary alphanumeric string , not a phone number — that's how banks send texts that say "HSBC" instead of a number. Alphanumeric sender IDs are attacker-controllable, and they can carry the exact characters a shell treats as syntax. That is the whole bug: a value from a text message reaches /bin/sh . The setup Gammu SMSD's Files backend writes each received message to a file whose name includes the sender. To keep that filename legal, it runs the sender ID through an escaping function first
