CentOS Web Panel - Remote Code Execution (CVE-2022-44877)

CentOS Web Panel is vulnerable to CVE-2022-44877, an OS Command Injection vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute commands via shell metacharacters in the login parameter. The root cause of this vulnerability is inside the logging functionality that relies on bash (via the echo command) allowning an attacker to take advantage of a built in bash feature called Command Substitution by crafting a malicous HTTP request containing system commands.

Sniper can gain unauthenticated Remote Code Execution on the target system and extract multiple artefacts as evidence.

The risk exists that a remote unauthenticated attacker can fully compromise the CentOS Web Panel Server to steal confidential information, install ransomware, or pivot to the internal network.

Upgrade the CentOS Web Panel to the latest version.
