Technical details
The merge_split_file function in /www/server/panel/class/files.py constructs a shell command using unsanitized user input from a JSON configuration file, allowing command injection via the split_file_path parameter. An authenticated attacker can upload a malicious JSON file and trigger the merge operation to execute arbitrary OS commands as root. A proof-of-concept demonstrates successful remote code execution with root privileges.
