CVE-2024-51567: n/a
upgrademysqlstatus in databases/views.py in CyberPanel (aka Cyber Panel) before 5b08cd6 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands via /dataBases/upgrademysqlstatus by bypassing secMiddleware (which is only for a POST request) and using shell metacharacters in the statusfile property, as exploited in the wild in October 2024 by PSAUX. Versions through 2.3.6 and (unpatched) 2.3.7 are affected.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability CVE-2024-51567 affects CyberPanel before commit 5b08cd6, specifically in the upgrademysqlstatus function located in databases/views.py. The secMiddleware, which is intended to protect the /dataBases/upgrademysqlstatus endpoint for POST requests, can be bypassed by sending crafted requests that exploit shell metacharacters in the statusfile parameter. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system. Versions up to and including 2.3.6 and version 2.3.7 (unpatched) are vulnerable. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 10.0, indicating a critical severity with network attack vector, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on availability, confidentiality, and integrity. Exploitation in the wild was observed in October 2024 by PSAUX.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass authentication controls and execute arbitrary commands on the affected CyberPanel server. This results in a complete compromise of the system's confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Given the critical CVSS score of 10.0, the impact is severe and can lead to full system takeover.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently referenced in the provided data. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, restrict access to the /dataBases/upgrademysqlstatus endpoint and monitor for suspicious activity. Avoid exposing CyberPanel management interfaces to untrusted networks. Follow vendor updates closely for an official fix.
