Deeper analysis

CVE-2022-25048 is a command injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-78, that affects CentOS Web Panel (CWP) version 0.9.8.1126. The flaw permits an authenticated user to inject and execute operating system commands with root privileges, producing a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 from network attack vectors that require only low privileges and no user interaction.

An attacker with a normal user account on an exposed CWP instance can supply crafted input that results in arbitrary command execution as root. Successful exploitation grants full control over the underlying system, including the ability to read or modify any file, install persistent malware, or pivot to other hosts.

Public references consist of repositories that document the issue and provide reproduction details, but no vendor advisory or patch information is included in the supplied references. The associated EPSS score has remained near 0.16 with only a negligible difference between its current and peak values.
