Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Control Web Panel (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call in the cwpsrv process, which listens on the loopback interface. This allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Control Web Panel. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this issue. The exploitation can lead to the execution of arbitrary code in the context of root.
