CVE-2024-51378Known exploitationPublic exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via statusfile shell injection

Published Oct 29, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2026

OS command injection in CyberPanel through 2.3.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands through unauthenticated status requests. The DNS and FTP getresetstatus handlers concatenate the statusfile property into sudo cat and rm shell commands without neutralizing metacharacters. Non-POST requests bypass secMiddleware, so network access to the panel is sufficient to run commands with the control panel's privileges.
