CVE-2020-17505 Scanner Detail

Artica Web Proxy is a prominent online platform that acts as a caching HTTP proxy server for numerous web applications. Its primary function is to improve system performance by saving bandwidth and speeding up web browsing. This cross-platform web server comes with a comprehensive set of features and can be easily deployed and managed, making it a popular choice among system administrators.

However, the platform has recently been reported to have a severe vulnerability, coded as CVE-2020-17505. This authenticated remote attack can allow hackers to inject arbitrary commands into the cyrus.php file via the "service-cmds" parameter, which would run as root on the server. By exploiting this vulnerability, attackers can elevate their privileges, gain full control of the system, and exfiltrate confidential data.

The consequences of this vulnerability can be catastrophic. Given that the attackers can gain root-level control over the system, they can execute arbitrary commands and exfiltrate crucial data. This information may include confidential databases, financial records, passwords, and many other types of sensitive data. Furthermore, attackers can leverage this vulnerability to launch multiple attacks on the system, such as malware and ransomware.
