CVE-2025-67888: n/a
CVE-2025-67888 is a command injection vulnerability in Control Web Panel (CWP) versions before 0.9.8.1209. It arises from improper sanitization of user input passed via the "key" GET parameter to /admin/index.php when the "api" parameter is set. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges on the web server, but only if Softaculous or SitePad is present. The vulnerability has a high severity rating with a CVSS score of 7.3. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently provided.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Control Web Panel (CWP) before version 0.9.8.1209 contains a command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) due to insufficient sanitization of the "key" GET parameter in /admin/index.php when the "api" parameter is set. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands with root privileges on the server, contingent on the presence of Softaculous or SitePad components. The vulnerability is publicly known and assigned CVE-2025-67888 with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L). There is no vendor advisory or patch information available at this time.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges on the affected web server. This can lead to full system compromise, including unauthorized access, data modification, and denial of service. The impact is significant given the root-level execution and lack of required authentication.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the affected endpoint and consider disabling Softaculous or SitePad if they are not required. Monitor for unusual activity related to the /admin/index.php endpoint with the "api" parameter. Avoid exposing the Control Web Panel interface to untrusted networks.
