vestacp CVE Vulnerabilities & Metrics

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Vesta Control Panel. Affected is an unknown function of the file func/main.sh of the component sed Handler. The manipulation leads to argument injection. An attack has to be approached locally. The name of the patch is 39561c32c12cabe563de48cc96eccb9e2c655e25. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. VDB-213546 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.

myVesta Control Panel before 0.9.8-26-43 and Vesta Control Panel before 0.9.8-26 are vulnerable to command injection. An authenticated and remote administrative user can execute arbitrary commands via the v_sftp_license parameter when sending HTTP POST requests to the /edit/server endpoint.

Vesta v1.0.0-5 was discovered to contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the body function at /web/api/v1/upload/UploadHandler.php.

Vesta v1.0.0-5 was discovered to contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the generate_response function at /web/api/v1/upload/UploadHandler.php.

Vesta v1.0.0-5 was discovered to contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the handle_file_upload function at /web/api/v1/upload/UploadHandler.php.

Vesta v1.0.0-5 was discovered to contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the post function at /web/api/v1/upload/UploadHandler.php.

vesta 0.9.8-24 is affected by a file inclusion vulnerability in file web/add/user/index.php.

VestaCP through 0.9.8-24 allows attackers to gain privileges by creating symlinks to files for which they lack permissions. After reading the RKEY value from user.conf under the /usr/local/vesta/data/users/admin directory, the admin password can be changed via a /reset/?action=confirm&user=admin&code= URI. This occurs because chmod is used unsafely.

VestaCP through 0.9.8-24 allows the admin user to escalate privileges to root because the Sudo configuration does not require a password to run /usr/local/vesta/bin scripts.

web/upload/UploadHandler.php in Vesta Control Panel (aka VestaCP) through 0.9.8-27 and myVesta through 0.9.8-26-39 allows uploads from a different origin.

An elevation of privilege in Vesta Control Panel through 0.9.8-26 allows an attacker to gain root system access from the admin account via v-change-user-password (aka the user password change script).

A remote command execution in Vesta Control Panel through 0.9.8-26 allows any authenticated user to execute arbitrary commands on the system via cron jobs.

In the Password Reset Module in VESTA Control Panel through 0.9.8-25 and Hestia Control Panel before 1.1.1, Host header manipulation leads to account takeover because the victim receives a reset URL containing an attacker-controlled server name.

Vesta Control Panel (VestaCP) through 0.9.8-26 allows Command Injection via the schedule/backup Backup Listing Endpoint. The attacker must be able to create a crafted filename on the server, as demonstrated by an FTP session that renames .bash_logout to a .bash_logout' substring followed by shell metacharacters.

Vesta Control Panel (VestaCP) 0.9.7 through 0.9.8-23 is vulnerable to an authenticated command execution that can result in remote root access on the server. The platform works with PHP as the frontend language and uses shell scripts to execute system actions. PHP executes shell script through the dangerous command exec. This function can be dangerous if arguments passed to it are not filtered. Every user input in VestaCP that is used as an argument is filtered with the escapeshellarg function. This function comes from the PHP library directly and its description is as follows: "escapeshellarg() adds single quotes around a string and quotes/escapes any existing single quotes allowing you to pass a string directly to a shell function and having it be treated as a single safe argument." It means that if you give Username, it will have 'Username' as a replacement. This works well and protects users from exploiting this potentially dangerous exec function. Unfortunately, VestaCP uses this escapeshellarg function incorrectly in several places.

A command injection vulnerability in UploadHandler.php in Vesta Control Panel 0.9.8-24 allows remote attackers to escalate from regular registered users to root.

A directory traversal vulnerability in the v-list-user script in Vesta Control Panel 0.9.8-24 allows remote attackers to escalate from regular registered users to root via the password reset form.

Vesta Control Panel 0.9.8-23 allows XSS via a crafted URL.

Vesta CP version Prior to commit f6f6f9cfbbf2979e301956d1c6ab5c44386822c0 -- any release prior to 0.9.8-18 contains a CWE-208 / Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy vulnerability in Password reset code -- web/reset/index.php, line 51 that can result in Possible to determine password reset codes, attacker is able to change administrator password. This attack appear to be exploitable via Unauthenticated network connectivity. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in After commit f6f6f9cfbbf2979e301956d1c6ab5c44386822c0 -- release version 0.9.8-19.

Vesta Control Panel through 0.9.8-22 has XSS via the edit/web/ domain parameter, the list/backup/ backup parameter, the list/rrd/ period parameter, the list/directory/ dir_a parameter, or the filename to the list/directory/ URI.

An issue was discovered in Vesta Control Panel 0.9.8-20. There is Reflected XSS via $_REQUEST['path'] to the view/file/index.php URI, which can lead to remote PHP code execution via vectors involving a file_put_contents call in web/upload/UploadHandler.php.

Vesta Control Panel before 0.9.8-14 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the backup parameter to list/backup/index.php.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Vesta Control Panel before 0.9.8-14 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of arbitrary users.
