Description
CyberPanel through 1.9.1, fixed in commit b198460, contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the cancelBackupCreation handler that allows authenticated users to kill, delete, and corrupt other tenants' backups. Attackers can send crafted POST requests with arbitrary backupCancellationDomain and fileName parameters to terminate backup processes, delete backup archives, corrupt backup status files, and remove database records belonging to other tenants.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability resides in CyberPanel’s cancelBackupCreation handler where passing arbitrary backupCancellationDomain and fileName values bypasses authorization checks. An authenticated attacker can terminate backup processes, delete backup archives, corrupt status files, and remove database records of other tenants. This flaw is a classic missing‑authorization condition (CWE‑862) that jeopardizes the availability and integrity of backup data.

Affected Systems

All installations of CyberPanel version 1.9.1 or earlier made by usmannasir. No specific minor versions are listed, so any build before the commit that fixes the issue is affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 indicates high severity; exploitation probability is low (EPSS < 1%). The flaw is not included in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker only needs legitimate credentials to CyberPanel and the ability to issue crafted POST requests, so the attack vector is authenticated. If the attacker controls a tenant account, they can delete or corrupt another tenant’s backups, causing significant data loss or downtime.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update CyberPanel to the patched release that includes commit b198460 or newer.
  • Ensure the cancelBackupCreation endpoint is accessible only to administrative users and that the API rejects arbitrary domain and fileName values from non‑admin tenants.
  • Audit backup logs for unexpected cancellation or deletion actions and restore any corrupted backups from unaffected sources.
