Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Remote Code Execution (RCE) flaw in aaPanel BaoTa up to version 11.8.0. It exists in the merge_split_file function of the files.py file. The issue is command injection via the split_file_path parameter, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands with root privileges by uploading a malicious JSON file.

Detection Guidance

Check for suspicious files in /tmp like bt_pwned_h02 or similar markers. Monitor network traffic for unexpected API calls to /www/server/panel/class/files.py with merge_split_file. Review logs for commands containing split_file_path with shell metacharacters like ;, |, or &&.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to run malicious commands on the server with root access, potentially taking full control of the system. This could lead to data theft, system damage, or further network compromise. The attack can be performed remotely without needing local access.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and data breaches, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and access controls. Organizations using affected aaPanel versions may face compliance violations, legal penalties, and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Update aaPanel BaoTa to the latest version if available. Restrict access to the merge_split_file endpoint via firewall rules. Disable the vulnerable API endpoint if not required. Monitor for unauthorized file creation in /tmp and system command execution logs.
