• → Detect OS command injection attempts against the OpenPanel timezone endpoint by inspecting POST body to /server/timezone for shell metacharacters (e.g., semicolons, pipes, backticks) within the 'timezone' parameter. ↗
• → Monitor POST requests to /server/timezone on port 2083 (OpenPanel default) for anomalous timezone values that do not match standard IANA timezone strings. ↗
• → Alert on Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST requests to /server/timezone where the body contains URL-encoded shell command separators such as %3B (;) or command strings like 'cat', 'shadow', or redirection operators. ↗

• · The exploit was tested against OpenPanel v0.3.4 specifically; other versions may or may not be vulnerable. Confirm version before applying detections. ↗
• · The exploit was tested on macOS; behavior on Linux-based production deployments of OpenPanel may differ slightly in command execution context. ↗
