Is it possible to run partedUtil, fdisk or dd commands via the RabbitMQ Api ?

Is it possible to run partedUtil, fdisk or dd commands via the RabbitMQ Api ?

I am looking into a case of suspected  sabotage and need to know whether this API

https://www.rabbitmq.com/management.html
allows to use commands like partedUtil, fdisk or dd
Thanks

Cant answer whether its possible or not.. I'd assume you can make it login via root or another user and issue those commands..

Is the host still operational that we can check the auth log to see if it logged in at a certain time?

SSH in - > cat /var/log/auth.log

I am checking that right now.
The damage was done in about 5 seconds so I expect that only commands like partedUtil or dd can do such a damage.

That looks strange to me as well.. What does the shell log say? cat /var/log/shell.log

it should list the last commands that were issued.

I looked for the shell.log first of all - I even looked for deleted shell.logs but nothing that would help could be found.
