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 Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 12.7% 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 are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Threat & Defense at a Glance

What attackers do: exploitation maps to Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) and 1 other technique. What defenders deploy: see the NIST 800-53 controls recommended below.

Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Directly prevents OS command injection by requiring validation and neutralization of untrusted inputs like the timezone parameter.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Mitigates the vulnerability through timely identification, reporting, and patching of flaws, as evidenced by the fix in OpenPanel v0.3.5.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match

prevent

Limits the potential damage from successful command injection by enforcing least privilege on processes handling the vulnerable parameter.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

attack.mitre.org →

T1059.004 Unix Shell Execution

Adversaries may abuse Unix shell commands and scripts for execution.

attack.mitre.org →

Why these techniques?

OS command injection in public-facing web panel (OpenPanel) directly enables remote unauthenticated exploitation of a public-facing application (T1190) resulting in arbitrary Unix shell command execution (T1059.004).

NVD Description

OpenPanel v0.3.4 was discovered to contain an OS command injection vulnerability via the timezone parameter.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-53584 is an OS command injection vulnerability affecting OpenPanel version 0.3.4, exploitable through the timezone parameter. Published on 2025-01-31, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), classifying it as critical, and maps to CWE-78 for improper neutralization of special elements in OS commands.

Remote attackers require no authentication, privileges, or user interaction and can exploit the flaw over the network with low attack complexity. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary OS command execution, granting high-impact access to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, which could lead to full system compromise.
