Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated account with administrator privileges on the Liman web interface (CVSS PR:H) and network access to the log rotation configuration endpoint; no user interaction is needed. The specific trigger is supplying the ip_address parameter with a single-quote character to escape the quoted shell context in the command the endpoint constructs. Limiting factors: the administrator-role requirement means this is not exploitable by anonymous or low-privileged users and is effectively a post-authentication / insider-or-credential-theft scenario rather than remote unauthenticated RCE; exposure is further limited when the admin panel is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Impact

The signals are moderately aligned but not uniformly severe. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects network reachability, low complexity, and full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact with a scope change to the underlying OS - but it is materially gated by PR:H, meaning the attacker must already hold administrator credentials on Liman. In practice an authenticated Liman admin already wields extensive control over managed servers, so this bug primarily converts application-level admin into direct OS shell on the Liman host itself (privilege/scope escalation rather than initial access). There is no EPSS value, no KEV listing, and no evidence of a public POC in the provided data, so real-world exploitation pressure appears low and would most likely be targeted or insider/post-compromise rather than opportunistic mass exploitation. Net: a genuinely high-impact flaw worth patching promptly, but the high-privilege precondition keeps realistic risk below what the 9.1 headline suggests for internet-facing default deployments.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated Liman administrator (or an attacker who has phished/reused valid admin credentials) submits a crafted log rotation configuration in which the ip_address field is set to a value like '; <command>; ', breaking out of the single-quoted shell context. The injected command executes with the privileges of the Liman service account on the host, giving the attacker an OS-level foothold on the server-management platform. No user interaction and low attack complexity are required beyond holding admin access.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 27, 2026

OS command injection in Liman server management software (limanmys/core) before version 2.2.2 - 1103 lets an authenticated administrator run arbitrary operating-system commands on the host via the log rotation configuration endpoint. The unsanitized ip_address parameter is concatenated into a shell command, allowing single-quote shell-escape to break out and execute attacker-controlled commands. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; it is fixed in 2.2.2 - 1103.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 2.2.2 - 1103 - upgrade Liman (limanmys/core) to 2.2.2 - 1103 or later, per the vendor advisory GHSA-3jrp-54r2-9g63 (https://github.com/limanmys/core/security/advisories/GHSA-3jrp-54r2-9g63). If immediate patching is not possible, restrict access to the Liman administrative interface and specifically the log rotation configuration endpoint to trusted networks/operators only, tighten and audit which accounts hold the administrator role (since exploitation requires admin privileges), and monitor the endpoint for ip_address values containing single quotes, semicolons, backticks, or $( shell metacharacters; the trade-off is that these are detective/access controls that reduce exposure but do not close the injection, so they are stopgaps until the upgrade is applied.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Liman (limanmys/core) is an open-source, web-based server and infrastructure management platform used to administer remote servers. The affected component is the log rotation configuration endpoint, which builds a shell command string and interpolates the user-supplied ip_address value directly into it without escaping or validation. Because the value is placed inside a single-quoted shell context, an attacker can supply a value containing a single quote to terminate the quoted string and append arbitrary shell syntax. Although NVD tags this CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation), the concrete manifestation is CWE-78 (OS Command Injection): the root cause is passing untrusted input into a command interpreter rather than using parameterized execution or strict allow-list validation (a real IP address).

DescriptionCVE.org

Liman is open source server management software. Prior to 2.2.2 - 1103, an OS command injection vulnerability in the log rotation configuration endpoint allows an authenticated administrator to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the Liman server. The ip_address parameter is embedded directly into a shell command without sanitization, enabling shell escape via single-quote injection. This is fixed in 2.2.2 - 1103.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Liman server management software contains a critical command injection vulnerability in its log rotation configuration endpoint that allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary operating-system commands. Organizations using Liman for infrastructure management face the risk of unauthorized system access and operational disruption if administrator accounts are compromised or malicious insiders abuse their privileges.
