Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated Cockpit CMS account at any privilege level - contributor, editor, or administrator. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 8.8 base score with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H accurately reflects the real-world risk: the attack is network-reachable, requires no special conditions, and yields full RCE impact on the server. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with a low-privilege Cockpit CMS account sends a multipart HTTP POST request to the asset upload endpoint with a payload containing a PHP webshell (e.g., <?php system($_GET['cmd']); ?>) saved with a .php extension. Because allowed_uploads defaults to wildcard, the server accepts and stores the file in the public assets directory without restriction. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patched version has been independently confirmed at time of analysis; administrators should monitor the upstream repository at https://github.com/Cockpit-HQ/Cockpit for a tagged release or security advisory addressing this issue. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, audit all Cockpit CMS deployments to identify instances running versions 2.6.0 or earlier, with priority on internet-facing systems; document which systems have active user accounts and upload permissions enabled. …
