Unauthenticated Command Injection in Control Web Panel via Unsanitized 'key' Parameter

An issue was discovered in Control Web Panel (CWP) before 0.9.8.1209. User input passed via the "key" GET parameter to /admin/index.php (when the "api" parameter is set) is not properly sanitized before being used to execute OS commands. This can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers to inject and execute arbitrary OS commands with the privileges of root on the web server. Softaculous or SitePad must be present.

CWP (aka Control Web Panel or CentOS Web Panel) before 0.9.8.1205 allows unauthenticated remote code execution via shell metacharacters in the t_total parameter in a filemanager changePerm request. A valid non-root username must be known.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of CentOS Web Panel cwp-e17.0.9.8.923. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within ajax_dashboard.php. When parsing the service_stop parameter, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-9726.

In CentOS-WebPanel.com (aka CWP) CentOS Web Panel 0.9.8.851, an insecure object reference allows an attacker to discover phpMyAdmin passwords (of any user in /etc/passwd) via an attacker account.

In CentOS-WebPanel.com (aka CWP) CentOS Web Panel 0.9.8.851, an insecure object reference allows an attacker to delete databases (such as oauthv2) from the server via an attacker account.

In CentOS-WebPanel.com (aka CWP) CentOS Web Panel 0.9.8.846, a hidden action=9 feature in filemanager2.php allows attackers to execute a shell command, i.e., obtain a reverse shell with user privilege.

CentOS-WebPanel.com (aka CWP) CentOS Web Panel 0.9.8.793 (Free/Open Source Version) and 0.9.8.753 (Pro) is vulnerable to Stored/Persistent XSS for Admin Email fields on the "CWP Settings > "Edit Settings" screen. By changing the email ID to any XSS Payload and clicking on Save Changes, the XSS Payload will execute.

CentOS Web Panel (CWP) 0.9.8.789 is vulnerable to Stored/Persistent XSS for the "Name Server 1" and "Name Server 2" fields via a "DNS Functions" "Edit Nameservers IPs" action.
