Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires valid CyberPanel administrator credentials - the CVSS 4.0 PR:H metric confirms this is an authenticated-only vulnerability. Unauthenticated remote attackers and low-privileged users cannot reach the vulnerable cloudAPI ReadReport endpoint. The target must be running CyberPanel prior to version 3.0.0 with the cloudAPI endpoint network-accessible (AV:N per CVSS). No special non-default configuration beyond having an administrator account is required. The primary factor limiting exploitation is the administrator authentication barrier; the secondary limiting factor is that the vulnerability is read-only - there is no code execution or write primitive (VI:N, VA:N in the CVSS vector), so an attacker cannot directly modify files or execute commands through this flaw alone, though exfiltrated private keys enable further attack steps.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N reflects an accurate picture: network-exploitable with high confidentiality impact, but gated behind administrator authentication (PR:H). This authentication requirement is the dominant mitigating factor - the attack surface is limited to users who already possess valid admin credentials. However, the practical risk escalates considerably in multi-tenant hosting environments, where a single compromised CyberPanel admin account can yield SSH private keys and JWT secrets for all hosted domains, enabling lateral movement well beyond what admin-panel access alone would normally allow. No EPSS score or KEV listing was provided in the intelligence data, so exploitation probability and active exploitation status cannot be quantified; these are unknown. No public POC has been identified. The CVSS vector is internally consistent with the description - AV:N matches the network-accessible endpoint, PR:H matches the administrator-only requirement, and the pure confidentiality impact (VC:H/VI:N/VA:N) aligns with a read-only file disclosure primitive. No conflicting signals were identified.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has acquired CyberPanel administrator credentials - via phishing, credential stuffing against a reused password, or insider access - authenticates to the admin panel and submits a crafted JSON POST to the cloudAPI ReadReport endpoint with a reportFile value such as ../../../../root/.ssh/id_rsa. CyberPanel's root-privileged process opens the file and returns its contents in the response, allowing the attacker to harvest private SSH keys and use them to pivot to any server accessible via those credentials. No public proof-of-concept has been identified, but the exploitation path requires only standard HTTP tooling.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 13, 2026

CyberPanel versions before 3.0.0 expose a path traversal in the cloudAPI ReadReport endpoint that allows authenticated administrators to read any file accessible by the root-privileged CyberPanel process. The reportFile parameter in the JSON request body is passed without sanitization directly to Python's open() in cloudManager.py, enabling directory traversal to credential files, SSL and SSH private keys, and JWT secrets. No active exploitation (CISA KEV) or public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis, though the vulnerability is straightforward to abuse given administrative credentials.

RemediationAI

Upgrade CyberPanel to version 3.0.0 or later, which resolves the unsanitized path handling in the cloudAPI ReadReport endpoint. The vendor-released fix is documented in the CyberPanel changelog at https://cyberpanel.net/KnowledgeBase/home/change-logs/; full vulnerability details are published by VulnCheck at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/cyberpanel-path-traversal-file-read-via-cloudapi-readreport. For environments that cannot immediately upgrade, restrict network access to the cloudAPI endpoint at the firewall or WAF layer - note this will disable cloud management functionality that depends on the endpoint. Additionally, enforce multi-factor authentication and IP allowlisting for CyberPanel administrator logins to reduce the probability of credential compromise that would bring this endpoint within reach of an attacker.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CyberPanel is an open-source web hosting control panel (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:usmannasir:cyberpanel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) that runs its management process with root privileges on Linux servers. The vulnerable code resides in cloudManager.py, which services the cloudAPI ReadReport endpoint. The root cause maps directly to CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory): the reportFile value from the JSON request body is forwarded to Python's built-in open() call without path normalization, prefix validation, or an allowlist of permitted directories. Because the CyberPanel process runs as root, a traversal sequence such as ../../../../etc/shadow or ../../../../root/.ssh/id_rsa successfully resolves and returns file contents to the caller. The absence of any server-side enforcement of a safe base directory is the singular technical failure.

DescriptionCVE.org

CyberPanel before 3.0.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows authenticated administrators to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem by supplying unsanitized file paths to the cloudAPI ReadReport endpoint. Attackers can manipulate the reportFile parameter in the JSON request body, which is passed directly to open() in cloudManager.py without validation or allowlisting, enabling traversal to any file readable by the root-privileged CyberPanel process including credential files, SSL and SSH private keys, and JWT secret files.
