CVE-2026-40456 is an OS command injection vulnerability in LMS (LAN Management System) affecting versions before commit 9fcb4de. The flaw is caused by an IP address parameter being passed to the PHP exec() function without proper validation or sanitization. Because user-controlled input reaches an operating system command execution sink, an attacker can inject shell metacharacters or additional command content and cause arbitrary commands to be executed by the underlying OS in the security context of the LMS application.
