CyberPersons CyberPanel vulnerability
CyberPanel contains incorrect default permissions allowing authentication bypass and arbitrary command execution via shell metacharacters in the statusfile property.
Verdict
Today item, not a backlog item.
An unauthenticated attacker can exploit default permission misconfigurations to bypass authentication controls and execute arbitrary system commands, leading to complete system compromise and data exfiltration.

01
Is it exploitable?
— the evidence, ranked above the scoreExploit available
Fully weaponized — public exploit code is cataloged for this vulnerability.We link the existence of the exploit; we do not host or redistribute payloads.
Reported exploitation
9 independent public reports of in-the-wild exploitation are cataloged.Distinct reporting sources (vendor, incident response, government); open them for the underlying claims.
Exploited in the wild
Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (added 2024-12-04), flagged for known ransomware use.
Probability (EPSS)
EPSS 0.94878 — modeled likelihood of exploitation activity.EPSS is a daily-changing model output — open the source for today's value.
Severity / affected
Affected: CyberPersons, CyberPanel. Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.
Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-276 Incorrect Default Permissions — weakness family: Authorization / access control.CWE assignment from the public NVD record; the weakness class drives how the flaw is exploited.
02
Who’s exploiting it?
— attribution turns risk into urgencyAttribution not established
No confirmed (advisory-backed) threat-actor attribution is established for this record. Absence of a named actor is not absence of compromise — see Coverage & confidence.
03
Why it matters
— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board1
Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1
Attacker
I identify that CyberPanel uses overly permissive default file permissions on critical configuration or status files.
Business
Default security posture fails to protect sensitive system files from unauthorized access.
2
Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2
Attacker
I access the statusfile property without authentication due to insufficient permission restrictions.
Business
Authentication controls are rendered ineffective, allowing unauthenticated interaction with system functions.
3
Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3
Attacker
I inject shell metacharacters into the statusfile property to execute arbitrary operating system commands.
Business
System integrity is compromised as attacker gains code execution with application privileges.
4
Data at risk — exfiltration narrative 4
Attacker
I establish persistence and exfiltrate sensitive data or deploy ransomware across the infrastructure.
Business
Operational continuity is disrupted; customer data and business assets face theft or encryption.
04
What to do
— defensible action- Remediate per the vendor advisory — confirm the fixed build for your version and verify exposure.1
Say it to the boardA vulnerability with this evidence profile is a defensible budget line, not a backlog ticket — fund the change against the proof above.
