CWE-639Published: July 16, 2019· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
In CentOS-WebPanel.com (aka CWP) CentOS Web Panel 0.9.8.838 to 0.9.8.846, remote attackers can bypass authentication in the login process by leveraging the knowledge of a valid username. The attacker must defeat an encoding that is not equivalent to base64, and thus this is different from CVE-2019-13360.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2019-13605 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 8.8.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2019-13605. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
