CVE-2026-27613: CGI Parameter Injection (Bypass of STRICT_CGI_PARAMS and EscapeShellParam)

Published Feb 25, 2026
·
Updated

TinyWeb is a web server (HTTP, HTTPS) written in Delphi for Win32. A vulnerability in versions prior to 2.01 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass the web server's CGI parameter security controls. Depending on the server configuration and the specific CGI executable in use, the impact is either source code disclosure or remote code execution (RCE). Anyone hosting CGI scripts (particularly interpreted languages like PHP) using vulnerable versions of TinyWeb is impacted. The problem has been patched in version 2.01. If upgrading is not immediately possible, ensure STRICTCGIPARAMS is enabled (it is defined by default in define.inc) and/or do not use CGI executables that natively accept dangerous command-line flags (such as php-cgi.exe). If hosting PHP, consider placing the server behind a Web Application Firewall (WAF) that explicitly blocks URL query string parameters that begin with a hyphen (-) or contain encoded double quotes (%22).
