Overview

AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2024-51567 is an authentication bypass and command injection vulnerability found in CyberPanel, an open-source control panel for Linux servers. Specifically, the flaw resides within the `upgrademysqlstatus` function in the `databases/views.py` file. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands. The bypass occurs because the `secMiddleware` security mechanism, designed to protect sensitive endpoints, only validates POST requests. Attackers can exploit this by using alternative HTTP methods to access the `/dataBases/upgrademysqlstatus` endpoint without authentication. Once authentication is bypassed, shell metacharacters can be injected into the `statusfile` property, leading to arbitrary command execution. This issue affects CyberPanel versions through 2.3.6 and unpatched version 2.3.7, and has been actively exploited.

Description: 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.
