CVE-2024-42922
Command Injection in Aapanel ≤ 7.0.7
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:NCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-42922 is a medium-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Aapanel Aapanel. Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 43% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
AAPanel version 7.0.7 contains an OS command injection vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-42922 and assigned CWE-78. The flaw received a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no requirements for authentication or user interaction, with limited impacts to confidentiality and integrity.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply crafted input that results in execution of arbitrary operating-system commands on the affected panel. Successful exploitation grants the ability to read or modify selected data and system state without requiring prior access or user assistance.
The single available reference is a public gist that documents the issue; no vendor advisory or patch information is provided in the CVE record. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at 0.0688 with no observed rise after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.
Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.
Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.
Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.
Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.
Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
