Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a web application that is affected by a remote command execution vulnerability.

Description

The remote web server hosts a version of WANem that is affected by a remote command execution vulnerability. The result.php script does not properly sanitize the 'pc' parameter. This can allow remote attackers to execute commands on the remote host, including with root privileges if utilizing the dosu binary installed on the appliance.

Solution

There is no known solution. As a workaround, either disable or restrict access to the application.
