CWP Control Web Panel vulnerability

CWP Control Web Panel contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the filemanager changePerm function that allows unauthenticated remote code execution when a valid non-root username is known.

Verdict

Today item — known-exploited.

An unauthenticated attacker with knowledge of a valid non-root username can inject shell metacharacters into the t_total parameter to execute arbitrary OS commands on the affected system, leading to full system compromise.

Reported exploitation
8 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 2025-11-04).
CISA KEV ↗Confirmed
Probability (EPSS)
EPSS 0.99589 — modeled likelihood of exploitation activity.EPSS is a daily-changing model output — open the source for today's value.
Severity / affected
Affected: CWP, Control Web Panel. Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.
NVD ↗Reported
Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-78 OS Command Injection — weakness family: Injection.CWE assignment from the public NVD record; the weakness class drives how the flaw is exploited.

Who’s exploiting it?

— attribution turns risk into urgency
Attribution 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.

Why it matters

— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board
1

Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1

Attacker
I enumerate or guess valid non-root usernames on the target CWP instance.
Business
Attacker gains initial reconnaissance data with minimal barriers to entry.
2

Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2

Attacker
I craft a malicious filemanager changePerm request with shell metacharacters in the t_total parameter.
Business
Attacker bypasses authentication controls through parameter manipulation.
3

Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3

Attacker
I execute arbitrary OS commands with the privileges of the CWP process.
Business
Attacker achieves remote code execution and establishes persistent access to the server.
4

Data at risk — exfiltration narrative 4

Attacker
I escalate privileges or pivot to other systems on the network.
Business
Attacker gains control of critical infrastructure and can exfiltrate data or deploy malware.

What to do

— defensible action
  • Remediate per the vendor advisory — confirm the fixed build for your version and verify exposure.1
