  • Exploit POST to /login with command injection in the username field using backtick shell execution; Content-Type must be application/x-www-form-urlencoded
  • Exploit POST to /sysShell endpoint with op=doPlease parameter; no authentication required; response contains /etc/passwd content on successful RCE
  • FOFA fingerprint query for identifying vulnerable Inspur ClusterEngine V4.0 instances: title="TSCEV4.0"
  • Successful exploitation is confirmed when the HTTP 200 response body matches the regex root:.*:0:0: (i.e., /etc/passwd content is reflected)
  • ·The /sysShell endpoint allows unauthenticated remote command execution by design (not a misconfiguration), making it a permanently exposed attack surface on unpatched systems
  • ·Both attack vectors (/login and /sysShell) require no authentication (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and are network-accessible (AV:N), maximizing exposure on internet-facing deployments
