CVE-2023-42120Network attack vector

Root code execution via unvalidated DNS input

Published May 3, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

OS command injection in LINANTO LLC Control Web Panel 0.9.8.1152 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code as root. The dns_zone_editor module passes a user-supplied string to a system call without properly validating command syntax or special characters. A valid panel account is required, but successful injection grants root-context code execution with control over server data and services.
