{"cve":"CVE-2013-10052","nvd":{"published":"2025-08-04T18:15:33.923","modified":"2026-06-16T23:50:36.600","status":"Deferred","description":"ZPanel includes a helper binary named zsudo, intended to allow restricted privilege escalation for administrative tasks. However, when misconfigured in /etc/sudoers, zsudo can be invoked by low-privileged users to execute arbitrary commands as root. This flaw enables local attackers with shell access to escalate privileges by writing a payload to a writable directory and executing it via zsudo. The vulnerability is particularly impactful in post-exploitation scenarios following web server compromise, where the attacker inherits access to zsudo.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":8.5},"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-269"],"references":["https://github.com/zpanel/zpanelx","https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/master/modules/exploits/linux/local/zpanel_zsudo.rb","https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/26451","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/zpanel-zsudo-local-priv-esc","https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/master/modules/exploits/linux/local/zpanel_zsudo.rb"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:06:45.861874017+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2013-10052","score":0.00341,"percentile":0.27667,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
