AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, restrict access to the APS Application Catalog search functionality to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to command execution attempts.

Description

Plesk contains an XPath injection vulnerability in the APS Application Catalog search functionality, where user-supplied input is interpolated into XPath queries without proper sanitization. This allows an authenticated, low-privileged user to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the server, resulting in local privilege escalation.
