Control Web Panel before 0.9.8.1225 contains a blind SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by submitting unsanitized input through the userRes POST parameter at the user endpoint. Attackers can exploit MySQL root privileges obtained via the injection to write arbitrary files using INTO DUMPFILE, enabling deployment of a PHP webshell to the web-accessible roundcube logs directory and achieving remote code execution as the cwpsvc account.

AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated blind SQL injection in Control Web Panel (CWP) before 0.9.8.1225 lets remote attackers inject arbitrary SQL through the userRes POST parameter of the user endpoint, and because CWP's MySQL connection runs with root privileges the flaw escalates to full remote code execution via INTO DUMPFILE. Attackers write a PHP webshell into the web-accessible roundcube logs directory and execute commands as the cwpsvc account. Publicly available exploit code exists and a vendor patch has been released; this is a network, no-authentication, low-complexity issue (CVSS 4.0 9.3).
Technical ContextAI
Control Web Panel (formerly CentOS Web Panel) is a free server administration/hosting control panel for RHEL-family Linux, commonly deployed on VPS and shared-hosting servers to manage web, mail, and database services. The root cause is CWP's admin bundled MySQL/MariaDB. Because the panel connects to the database as the MySQL root user, an attacker who controls the query can leverage the FILE privilege and INTO DUMPFILE to write attacker-controlled bytes to arbitrary filesystem paths - here a PHP webshell placed in the web-accessible roundcube logs directory, which the PHP-serving cwpsvc process then executes, converting a database-layer flaw into OS-level code execution.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Control Web Panel to 0.9.8.1225 or later per the vendor changelog (https://control-webpanel.com/changelog#1773753427572-9bf81bf4-f2d2), which is the primary and recommended fix. Until patching is possible, restrict network exposure of the CWP management interface - place the panel behind a VPN or IP allowlist and block untrusted access to the user endpoint, accepting that this limits legitimate remote administration. As a defense-in-depth measure, review whether the panel's MySQL connection must run as root and confirm the roundcube logs directory is not writable-and-web-executable, since removing the FILE-privilege-to-webshell path breaks the RCE portion of the chain even if injection remains; note these hardening steps may affect mail/webmail functionality and are no substitute for the patch. Consult the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/control-web-panel-blind-sql-injection-via-userres-parameter) for detection guidance.
