CVE-2022-44877 is a critical unauthenticated command injection vulnerability in Control Web Panel (CWP), formerly CentOS Web Panel, affecting versions before 0.9.8.1147. The flaw is present in login/index.php, where the login parameter is insufficiently sanitized and shell metacharacters are interpreted by the underlying operating system shell. By supplying crafted input to this parameter, a remote attacker can inject and execute arbitrary OS commands without authentication. The vulnerability is trivial to exploit remotely and has been publicly demonstrated with proof-of-concept code. Observed exploitation has included spawning interactive terminals and launching reverse-shell style command execution on unpatched systems.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting an unauthenticated remote command execution (RCE) vulnerability (CVE-2022-44877) in Control Web Panel (CWP) versions prior to 0.9.8.1147. The exploit leverages a command injection flaw in the /login/index.php endpoint, accessible via HTTPS on port 2031. The module allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the root user without authentication, either by directly injecting commands or by staging a payload (such as a reverse shell or binary dropper). The exploit is operational and provides both command execution and payload staging capabilities. The code is structured as a standard Metasploit module, with options for target URI and port, and includes both a check method (to verify vulnerability) and an exploit method (to deliver the payload). The main attack vector is network-based, targeting the web interface of CWP. The only fingerprintable endpoints are the /login/index.php path and the default port 2031.
This repository contains a Bash script (script.sh) and a README.md. The script targets CVE-2022-44877, a command injection vulnerability in Control Web Panel (CWP) prior to version 0.9.8.1147. The script provides three main functions: 'scan' (test a single URL for vulnerability using a time-based payload), 'exploit' (execute an arbitrary bash command on a vulnerable target), and 'masscan' (scan multiple URLs from a file for vulnerability). The exploit works by sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the /login/index.php endpoint of the target, injecting a base64-encoded command that is decoded and executed by the server if vulnerable. The script is operational, allowing for both detection and exploitation, and is intended for use against Linux-based CWP installations. The only code file is script.sh, which is the entry point for all functionality.
