Title
IceWarp14 X-File-Operation Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Summary
IceWarp14 X-File-Operation Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of IceWarp. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of the X-File-Operation header. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-27394.
