What is CVE-2014-125123?
CVE-2014-125123 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in LXCenter Kloxo, published on 31 Jul 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
An unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Kloxo web hosting control panel (developed by LXCenter) prior to version 6.1.12. The flaw resides in the login-name parameter passed to lbin/webcommand.php, which fails to properly sanitize input, allowing an attacker to extract the administrator’s password from the backend database. After recovering valid credentials, the attacker can authenticate to the Kloxo control panel and leverage the Command Center feature (display.php) to execute arbitrary operating system commands as root on the underlying host system. This vulnerability was reported to be exploited in the wild in January 2014.
Weakness: CWE-89
