CVE-2020-15609

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CentOS Web Panel version cwp-e17.0.9.8.923

Description This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations. Authentication is not required to exploit this issue. The flaw exists within the ajax dashboard.php file, specifically when parsing the service stop parameter. The process does not properly validate a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call, allowing an attacker to execute code in the context of root.

Recommendations For CentOS Web Panel version cwp-e17.0.9.8.923, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the ajax dashboard.php file or restricting access to the service stop parameter until a patch is available. Avoid using the service stop parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
