Summary
Control Web Panel (CWP), a web hosting control panel, is affected, specifically its protected directory feature in the user panel. An attacker who can reach this feature could run arbitrary operating system commands, gaining code execution in the user panel context.
Read the original description
Control Web Panel (CWP) before webpanel_version 1.16 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the protected_directory user panel module that allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands by submitting unescaped input through the file POST parameter in the acc=deletedp action. Attackers can exploit this flaw, which passes attacker-controlled input directly into a shell_exec call, to achieve code execution in the user panel context.
What to do
Upgrade to a fixed version: 1.16.

Questions about CVE-2026-77876
What does this mean?
Unescaped input sent through the file POST parameter of the protected_directory module is passed to the operating system as a command. This lets an attacker run arbitrary OS commands and execute code in the user panel context.Source: vulncheck.com
Am I affected, and how do I check?
Control Web Panel versions before 1.16 are affected. To check, look at the webpanel_version value in your installation. The issue is in the protected_directory user panel module's acc=deletedp action, which takes the file POST parameter.Source: vulncheck.com
What should I do about it?
Upgrade Control Web Panel to version 1.16 or later, which contains the fix.Source: vulncheck.com
Is it being exploited?
It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
