Summary
A remote command execution vulnerability exists in ZPanel version 10.0.0.2 in its htpasswd module. When creating .htaccess files, the inHTUsername field is passed unsanitized to a system() call that invokes the system’s htpasswd binary. By injecting shell metacharacters into the username field, an authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary system commands. Exploitation requires a valid ZPanel account—such as one in the default Users, Resellers, or Administrators groups—but no elevated privileges.

"value": "Existe una vulnerabilidad de ejecuci\u00f3n remota de comandos en la versi\u00f3n 10.0.0.2 de ZPanel, en su m\u00f3dulo htpasswd. Al crear archivos .htaccess, el campo inHTUsername se pasa sin depurar a una llamada system() que invoca el binario htpasswd del sistema. Al inyectar metacaracteres de shell en el campo de nombre de usuario, un atacante autenticado puede ejecutar comandos arbitrarios del sistema. Para explotar esta vulnerabilidad, se requiere una cuenta v\u00e1lida de ZPanel (por ejemplo, una en los grupos predeterminados de Usuarios, Distribuidores o Administradores), pero sin privilegios elevados."
