CyberPanel Incorrect Default Permissions Vulnerability
CyberPanel contains an incorrect default permissions vulnerability that allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute commands as root.
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
Risk Analysis
CyberPanel has a default permissions issue that enables a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute commands with root privileges. The extremely high EPSS score of 0.94310 highlights the significant probability of this vulnerability being exploited.
Active exploitation of this vulnerability has been observed in the wild, and it is included in CISA's KEV catalog. This indicates a severe and immediate threat, as it is remotely exploitable without authentication.
Administrators should update CyberPanel to a patched version and review default permissions to ensure they are configured securely. Implement principle of least privilege for all system components.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2024-51567 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
CISA has added CVE-2024-51567 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
