Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: DirectAdmin versions prior to 1.334

Description: The issue allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via shell metacharacters in the name parameter during a restore action. This is related to the CMD DB in JBMC Software.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 1.334, update to version 1.334 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the restore action to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using shell metacharacters in the name parameter until the issue is resolved.
