The standard OpenPLi box is NOT vulnerable because it does not run bash. If you have manually installed "bash", then the box may become vulnerable. However, you'll also need something to expose the shell to the outside, which is something that the webinterface does not do.

All "known" images use the built-in shell from busybox, not bash.
But besides that, you'd only be vulnerable if you'd expose a shell to a hostile environment (like internet), which mostly is a stupid thing to do anyway. I don't get the commotion actually.

Ik lees geen PM -> als je iets te vragen of te melden hebt, doe het op het forum, zodat anderen er ook wat aan hebben.
