Description gkamathe 2026-11-02 09:58:08 UTC 
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

Asterisk is an open source private branch exchange and telephony toolkit. Prior to Asterisk 20.20.1, 21.12.3, 22.10.1, 23.4.1 and Certified Asterisk 22.8-cert3, an authenticated attacker with read-only permissions for the `Asterisk REST Interface (ARI)` may, under certain conditions, execute write operations through `REST-over-WebSocket`. The authorization bypass permits `arbitrary module path` loading and conditional remote code execution. The Asterisk HTTP web server must be enabled and reachable, and the attacker must already have valid `read-only ARI credentials`. HTTP is disabled by default and binds only to 127.0.0.1 by default even when enabled. This issue is fixed in Asterisk 20.20.1, 21.12.3, 22.10.1, 23.4.1 and Certified Asterisk 22.8-cert3.
Comment 1 Peter Lemenkov 2026-11-02 13:04:33 UTC 
Not affected. The authorization bypass is in ARI's REST-over-WebSocket request handling (res/ari/ari_websocket_requests.c), a feature added in later Asterisk releases. Asterisk 18.26.4, shipped on this branch, does not have REST-over-WebSocket, so the vulnerable code path does not exist.
