CVE-2020-15642: Marvell QConvergeConsole isHPSmartComponent Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of installations of Marvell QConvergeConsole 5.5.0.64. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed. The specific flaw exists within the isHPSmartComponent method of the GWTTestServiceImpl class. 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-10501.
