CloudPanel vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
An Improper Authorization (Access Control Misconfiguration) vulnerability exists in MGT-COMMERCE GmbH CloudPanel versions 2.0.0 to 2.4.2. The vulnerability allows low-privilege users to bypass access controls and gain unauthorized access to sensitive configuration files and administrative functionality. This vulnerability was discovered in November 2024 and has been assigned CVE-2024-44765 (NVD, GitHub POC).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from insufficient access control restrictions in the vhost configuration management functionality. Low-privilege users can manipulate nginx configuration by modifying the document root to access the main CloudPanel directory and other sensitive webserver locations. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.5 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N (NVD).
Impact
The vulnerability can lead to serious security breaches including exposure of sensitive data, access to .env files, SQLite database files (.sq3), SSH keys, and /etc/shadow files. Successful exploitation could result in admin account takeover, secret key exposure, web shell upload capabilities, privilege escalation, and potential server intrusion (GitHub POC).
Mitigation and workarounds
Currently, there is no official fix available for this vulnerability. A security update is expected in an upcoming release. Organizations using affected versions of CloudPanel should carefully review and restrict access to vhost configuration management features (GitHub POC).
