CVE-2026-73663 — FreePBX: Unauthenticated SQL injection in FreePBX missedcall via inbound Caller ID name leads to administrator takeover

FreePBX is an open source IP PBX. From 16.0.0 until 16.0.11 and 17.0.4, the FreePBX missedcall module places the inbound Caller ID name from crafted SIP From headers into the missedcalllog INSERT in agi-bin/missedcallnotify.php without escaping or bound parameters. An unauthenticated caller can inject SQL when a monitored extension goes unanswered, corrupting the database and modifying FreePBX administrator accounts to obtain unauthorized remote access. This issue is fixed in versions 16.0.11 and 17.0.4.

Remediation

The vendor's own words where we have them.

Upgrade missedcall to a fixed release. Apply vendor patches per advisory and restrict external exposure of the affected component until patched.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record's own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found.

  • Identify exposed assets running affected vendor/product/version combinations.
  • Prioritize based on EPSS, PoC availability, and external exposure.
  • Search available logs for exploit probes, errors, authentication anomalies, or suspicious child processes matching the vulnerability class.

What this weakness leads to

MITRE's own consequences and mitigations for the weakness class — the authority's wording, not guidance derived from the CVSS vector.

MITRE

CWE-89 · Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')

  • Read Application Data
  • Bypass Protection Mechanism
  • Modify Application Data

Mitigation: Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. For example, consider using persistence layers such as Hibernate or Enterprise Java Beans, which can provide significant protection against SQL injection if used properly.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-73663 is FreePBX: Unauthenticated SQL injection in FreePBX missedcall via inbound Caller ID name leads to administrator takeover, a critical vulnerability affecting missedcall from FreePBX. The current evidence does not list it in CISA KEV, and the exploit status is: Active exploitation is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-73663. Public exploit evidence is: A public PoC is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-73663. The affected-version evidence is listed in the key facts and affected products tables. Defenders should first verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run those versions, then apply vendor patches or mitigations, restrict reachable attack surface, and preserve logs for detection review. CVSS 9.3 describes technical severity, while EPSS 0% helps estimate near-term exploit likelihood; neither replaces asset context. Unknown fields should remain explicit in tickets, and threat actor, IOC, victimology, or payload claims should not be added unless a cited source supports them. Monitor CISA KEV, vendor advisories, NVD changes, public PoC repositories, and internal telemetry for update triggers.
