Horde Virtual File System (VFS) API before 3.0.1 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the HordeVfsSmb driver where the escapeShellCommand() method fails to sanitize command substitution sequences, allowing authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary shell commands through user-controlled filenames. Attackers can supply malicious filenames containing unescaped command substitution payloads through operations such as file upload, folder creation, rename, or deletion, which are interpolated into a double-quoted shell context and executed via procopen() through /bin/sh -c before smbclient runs, resulting in arbitrary command execution on the underlying system.
