Wirtualna Uczelnia: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in a Template Engine
CVE-2026-34906 is a critical-severity improper neutralization of special elements used in a template engine vulnerability in Wirtualna Uczelnia from Simple SA, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected Wirtualna Uczelnia versions: wu#2016.437.295#0#20260327_105545 and earlier. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.56% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Check which version of Wirtualna Uczelnia you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.

Official description
Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) in Wirtualna Uczelnia allows an unauthenticated attacker to perform Remote Code Execution (RCE). In the endpoint redirectToUrl and parameter redirectUrlParameter, insufficient input validation permits injection of arbitrary template expressions that are executed on the server. Successful exploitation can allow an attacker to run remote commands, including establishing a reverse shell. This issue affects Wirtualna Uczelnia versions up to wu#2016.437.295#0#20260327_105545

The underlying weakness: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in a Template Engine
The product uses a template engine to insert or process externally-influenced input, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements or syntax that can be interpreted as template expressions or other code directives when processed by the engine.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Choose a template engine that offers a sandbox or restricted mode, or at least limits the power of any available expressions, function calls, or commands.
- Use the template engine's sandbox or restricted mode, if available.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: yes, technical impact: total).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
