GHSA-p9xf-74xh-mhw5 is a high-severity (CVSS 8.8) OS Command Injection vulnerability in github.com/1Panel-dev/1Panel. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. A fix is available for github.com/1Panel-dev/1Panel — see the affected versions and patch details below.
1Panel command injection vulnerability in Firewall ip functionality
Exploitation Status
Proof-of-concept exploit code exists
- CISA’s SSVC triage found public proof-of-concept exploit code for this CVE, though no confirmed active exploitation.
- A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.

EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-p9xf-74xh-mhw5 plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 377,166 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.

Description
Summary
An OS command injection vulnerability exists in 1Panel firewall functionality. A specially-crafted HTTP request can lead to arbitrary command execution. An attacker can make an authenticated HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability.
Details
1Panel firewall functionality /hosts/firewall/ip endpoint read user input without validation, the attacker extends the default functionality of the application, which execute system commands.
PoC
the payload ; sleep 3 # will lead server response in 3 seconds

the payload ; sleep 6 # will lead server response in 6 seconds

Impact
An attacker can execute arbitrary code on the target system, which can lead to a complete compromise of the system.
Patches
The vulnerability has been fixed in v1.4.3.
Workarounds
It is recommended to upgrade the version to v1.4.3.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/1Panel-dev/1Panel, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/1Panel-dev/1Panel to 1.4.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-p9xf-74xh-mhw5 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-p9xf-74xh-mhw5 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-p9xf-74xh-mhw5. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-p9xf-74xh-mhw5 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-p9xf-74xh-mhw5 across Go dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
