Root command execution via firewall port parameter
Published May 21, 2025 · Updated May 21, 2025
OS command injection in AAPanel 7.0.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute commands with root privileges. The del_ufw_rule function in FirewallModel.py passes the ports parameter from firewall-rule deletion requests into a shell command without neutralizing command syntax. A valid panel session with access to the security module is required, and injected commands run as root.
