CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedClearOS 7.9 is vulnerable to an OS command injection in the Log Viewer component, allowing authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands via unsanitized input in the filter parameter. This vulnerability can lead to command execution as the webconfig user, who has default NOPASSWD sudo privileges, enabling immediate escalation to root access. Organizations using ClearOS 7.9 should prioritize patching this vulnerability to mitigate the risk of unauthorized system control.
Original NVD Description
ClearOS 7.9 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the Log Viewer component that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands by submitting unsanitized input through the filter parameter, which is interpolated directly into a shell command in File.php. Attackers can inject command substitution payloads into the filter parameter to execute arbitrary commands as the webconfig user, and due to extensive NOPASSWD sudo privileges granted to that user by default, immediately escalate to root.
