send linux command from whmcs

[TARIMEHR]

hello

 

we need create space in whmcs that can send linux shell command from whmcs to each server that we want.

 

for example:

client X have a virtual machine (centos 6.8-64 Bit)

 

who can we send (yum install nano -y) command from whmcs?

This is not something you want to do unless you know what you're doing. If you have to ask in here, yeah, no.

This is absolutely possible to do (I've done things like this for php scripts easily), but you have to approach this incredibly cautiously and know what you're doing, because you can literally destroy servers this way

do you have limited list of commands you which to be able to run it from WHMCS, or it will be unlimited?

 

is it for admins only or clients can perform it too?

 

it's possible to implement such thing in WHMCS, but how secure this will be is the real question

I was about to ask if WHMCS is limited to the scope of the user, then by linux law it technically should be restricted to that... (I would possibly even recommend the user probably use an API vs direct shell eg. SOAP/etc.)

[twhiting9275]

Yes, WHMCS is obviously limited by the user it's run as, however, even that can be worked around, legitimately.

Again, it's all about having this done properly and securely. If one has to ask 'how to do it', on a public forum, yeah, that's indicating they shouldn't be doing this one.
