This article details a critical security vulnerability (CVE-2024-XXXX, to be assigned) in CyberPanel versions before 5b08cd6d53f4dbc2107ad9f555122ce8b0996515. This flaw allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands on the server.
Vulnerability :
Platform: CyberPanel (aka Cyber Panel)
Version: Before 5b08cd6d53f4dbc2107ad9f555122ce8b0996515 (versions through 2.3.6 and unpatched 2.3.7)
Vulnerability: Remote Code Execution (RCE)
Severity: Critical (CVSS 10.0)
Date: October 2024 (exploited in the wild)
Details:
The vulnerability resides in the `upgrademysqlstatus` function within `databases/views.py` of CyberPanel. Attackers can exploit this flaw by sending a crafted request to the `/dataBases/upgrademysqlstatus` endpoint. This bypasses authentication and allows execution of arbitrary commands due to insufficient validation of the `statusfile` property.
Impact:
This critical vulnerability allows attackers to gain complete control over the affected server. They can steal data, install malware, disrupt operations, or launch further attacks.
Recommendation:
Update CyberPanel to the latest patched version immediately (after 5b08cd6d53f4dbc2107ad9f555122ce8b0996515).
If updating is not feasible, consider additional security measures to mitigate the risk, such as restricting access to the vulnerable endpoint.
What Undercode Says:
This is a serious vulnerability with a critical CVSS score.
Immediate patching is essential to protect your server.
Consider additional security measures if patching is delayed.
Please note: The specific CVE ID will be assigned later.
