A vulnerability has been discovered in CWP (aka Control Web Panel or CentOS Web Panel), which could allow for remote code execution. CWP, or Control Web Panel, is a free server administration tool for enterprise-based Linux distributions like CentOS, which simplifies managing web hosting services. The admin interface (accessible on port 2087 or 2031) and the user interface (accessible on port 2083) serve distinct roles in server management. There are both PHP based applications but the admin interface, secured by HTTPS on port 2087, is designed for system administrators and provides full control over the server, allowing tasks such as configuring web servers (Apache/NGINX), managing DNS, setting up email services, creating user accounts, monitoring resources, and implementing security measures like Config Server Firewall (CSF). It requires root or admin credentials for access. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an actor to bypass the authentication process and trigger a command injection in the application.
