CVE-2026-4048 is an OS command injection vulnerability in the UI of Progress ADC products affecting the LoadMaster appliance. The flaw is triggered during upload of a custom WAF rule file, where unsanitized attacker-controlled input is processed in a way that allows operating system command execution. An authenticated attacker holding the product's “All” permission level can exploit this upload path to execute arbitrary commands on the appliance, resulting in remote code execution. The issue is classified as CWE-77 and was described by the vendor as a command injection vulnerability in the custom WAF rule file upload process.
