Description
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.

AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability resides in the log rotation configuration endpoint of Liman. An authenticated administrator can send a request containing an ip_address parameter that is concatenated into a shell command without proper sanitization. By injecting a single quote, the attacker can terminate the argument and execute arbitrary shell commands, leading to full system compromise. The weakness directly maps to CWE‑20 (Improper Input Validation) and CWE‑78 (OS Command Injection).

Affected Systems

Affected releases are all Liman core versions prior to 2.2.2‑1103. The product is open‑source server management software distributed by limanmys. Customers using any build older than the patched version are at risk; no specific platform or OS restriction is noted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 9.1 indicates a high‑impact flaw with complete remote code execution capability for authorized users. The EPSS score is not publicly available, and the vulnerability has not yet been listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The flaw requires authentication as an administrator, but once authenticated an attacker can trivially craft an input to spawn arbitrary commands via the log rotation endpoint, with no additional exploitation steps. Because the issue involves unsanitized shell concatenation, automated scripts could target admin accounts to accelerate exploitation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Liman to version 2.2.2‑1103 or newer, which removes the unsanitized ip_address usage.
  • Restrict access to the log rotation endpoint by firewall or network segmentation so that only trusted admin hosts can reach it.
  • Review and enforce least privilege for all administrative accounts, disabling any unused or unnecessary admin credentials.
