CVE-2026-57517 — Control Web Panel security vulnerability

Critical CVSS 9.8

Control Web Panel before 0.9.8.1225 contains a blind SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by submitting unsanitized input through the userRes POST parameter at the user endpoint. Attackers can exploit MySQL root privileges obtained via the injection to write arbitrary files using INTO DUMPFILE, enabling deployment of a PHP webshell to the web-accessible roundcube logs directory and achieving remote code execution as the cwpsvc account.

Matched remediation archetype

SQL and data-query injection

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace request, message, file, and stored values into SQL, ORM query fragments, filters, sort expressions, and other data-query languages.
  • Inventory database roles, reachable schemas, multi-tenant boundaries, and whether stacked or administrative operations are enabled.
  • Check both direct queries and second-order use of previously stored values.

Remediate safely

  • Use parameterized queries or safe query builders for all values; map identifiers and operators through explicit allowlists.
  • Remove raw query concatenation and give the application account only the tables and operations it requires.
  • Update affected data-access components and add regression tests for query structure preservation with inert edge-case inputs.
