Summary

CVE-2024-53584 is a critical-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Openpanel Openpanel. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 10% 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.

OpenPanel version 0.3.4 contains an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) that is exposed through the timezone parameter. The flaw received a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8, reflecting network attackability without authentication or user interaction and full impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply a crafted timezone value that results in arbitrary operating-system command execution on the underlying host. Successful exploitation grants the attacker the ability to run commands with the privileges of the OpenPanel process, enabling complete system compromise.

The vendor addressed the issue in OpenPanel 0.3.5, as noted in the project changelog under security fixes. Exploitation probability (EPSS) rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.1199 on 2025-12-11 before receding to the current value of 0.0392, indicating a period of increased interest following 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.

PR.PS-06 mostly match

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.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

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).
