Prior to 6.5, advanced/Scripts/utils.sh getFTLPID() attempts to validate the pihole-owned /run/pihole-FTL.pid file with expr \"${FTL_PID}\" : \"[^[:digit:]]\", but this rejects only values whose first character is not a digit. An attacker with code execution as the pihole user can write a digit-prefixed arithmetic expression to the pihole-owned PID file. Root-run pihole subcommands then evaluate [[ \"$pid\" -eq \"-1\" ]], causing Bash to recursively evaluate array subscripts and execute command substitution as root. This bypasses the content-validation portion of the CVE-2026-41489 remediation while leaving its hardcoded PID-file path protection intact. This issue is fixed in version 6.5.","epss":{"date":"2026-11-04","percentile":0.13682,"score":0.00228},"exploits":[{"kind":"exploit","source":"ADP: CISA-ADP","url":"https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/security/advisories/GHSA-cf36-4hhc-8398"}],"kev":null,"metrics":[{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"CNA: GitHub_M","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"NVD: security-advisories@github.com","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"}],"modifiedAt":1793846287600,"publishedAt":1793390612975,"references":[{"source":"CNA: GitHub_M","tags":["x_refsource_CONFIRM"],"url":"https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/security/advisories/GHSA-cf36-4hhc-8398"},{"source":"CNA: GitHub_M","tags":["x_refsource_MISC"],"url":"https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/pull/6719"},{"source":"CNA: GitHub_M","tags":["x_refsource_MISC"],"url":"https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/commit/555dd4d8b3699327fbba482bb73cce5f53979bd1"},{"source":"CNA: GitHub_M","tags":["x_refsource_MISC"],"url":"https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/releases/tag/v6.5"},{"source":"ADP: CISA-ADP","tags":["exploit"],"url":"https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/security/advisories/GHSA-cf36-4hhc-8398"},{"source":"security-advisories@github.com","tags":[],"url":"https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/commit/555dd4d8b3699327fbba482bb73cce5f53979bd1"},{"source":"security-advisories@github.com","tags":[],"url":"https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/pull/6719"},{"source":"security-advisories@github.com","tags":[],"url":"https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/releases/tag/v6.5"},{"source":"security-advisories@github.com","tags":[],"url":"https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/security/advisories/GHSA-cf36-4hhc-8398"},{"source":"GitHub Security Advisories","tags":["advisory"],"url":"https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/security/advisories/GHSA-cf36-4hhc-8398"}],"remediation":[{"kind":"fix","source":"GitHub GHSA-cf36-4hhc-8398","text":"pi-hole (other): GitHub reports patched versions 6.5.
