These vulnerabilities occur in MgrDiagnosticTools.php (\u002Fcontrollers\u002FMgrDiagnosticTools.php), in the component responsible for performing diagnostic tests with the UNIX wget utility. The application doesn't properly escape the information passed in the 'url' variable before calling the executeCommand class function ($this->dtObj->executeCommand). This function calls exec() with unsanitized user input allowing for remote command injection. The page that contains the vulnerabilities, \u002Fcontrollers\u002FMgrDiagnosticTools.php, is accessed by a built-in command answered by the administrative interface. The command that calls to that vulnerable page (passed in the 'section' parameter) is: 'configuration'. Exploitation of this vulnerability yields shell access to the remote machine under the 'spiderman' user account.","The Sophos Web Appliance Remote \u002F Secure Web Gateway server (version 4.2.1.3) is vulnerable to a Remote Command Injection vulnerability in its web administra...","2017-01-28T12:59:00.18","2025-04-20T01:37:25.86",7.2,"CVSS:3.0\u002FAV:N\u002FAC:L\u002FPR:H\u002FUI:N\u002FS:U\u002FC:H\u002FI:H\u002FA:H",{"CVSSMetricV31":15,"CVSSMetricV30":16,"CVSSMetricV2":29,"CVSSMetricV40":15},null,[17],{"Source":18,"Type":19,"CVSSData":20,"ExploitabilityScore":27,"ImpactScore":28},"nvd@nist.gov","Primary",{"Version":21,"VectorString":13,"AttackVector":22,"AttackComplexity":23,"PrivilegesRequired":24,"UserInteraction":25,"Scope":26,"ConfidentialityImpact":24,"IntegrityImpact":24,"AvailabilityImpact":24,"BaseScore":12,"BaseSeverity":24,"ExploitCodeMaturity":15,"RemediationLevel":15,"ReportConfidence":15,"TemporalScore":15,"TemporalSeverity":15,"ConfidentialityRequirement":15,"IntegrityRequirement":15,"AvailabilityRequirement":15,"ModifiedAttackVector":15,"ModifiedAttackComplexity":15,"ModifiedPrivilegesRequired":15,"ModifiedUserInteraction":15,"ModifiedScope":15,"ModifiedConfidentialityImpact":15,"ModifiedIntegrityImpact":15,"ModifiedAvailabilityImpact":15,"EnvironmentalScore":15,"EnvironmentalSeverity":15},"3.0","NETWORK","LOW","HIGH","NONE","UNCHANGED",1.2,5.9,[30],{"Source":18,"Type":19,"CVSSData":31,"BaseSeverity":24,"ExploitabilityScore":37,"ImpactScore":38,"ACInsufInfo":15,"ObtainAllPrivilege":15,"ObtainUserPrivilege":15,"ObtainOtherPrivilege":15,"UserInteractionRequired":15},{"Version":32,"VectorString":33,"AccessVector":22,"AccessComplexity":23,"Authentication":34,"ConfidentialityImpact":35,"IntegrityImpact":35,"AvailabilityImpact":35,"BaseScore":36,"BaseSeverity":15,"Exploitability":15,"RemediationLevel":15,"ReportConfidence":15,"TemporalScore":15,"CollateralDamagePotential":15,"TargetDistribution":15,"ConfidentialityRequirement":15,"IntegrityRequirement":15,"AvailabilityRequirement":15,"EnvironmentalScore":15},"2.0","AV:N\u002FAC:L\u002FAu:S\u002FC:C\u002FI:C\u002FA:C","SINGLE","COMPLETE",9,8,10,0.25063,[41,39,39,39,39,39,39],0.2463,"High",[44],{"vendor":45,"product":46,"version":47,"criteria":48,"vulnerable":4},"sophos","web_appliance","4.2.1.3","cpe:2.3:a:sophos:web_appliance:4.2.1.3:*:*:*:*:*:*:*",1,[51,56,62,67,69,71],{"url":52,"source":53,"tags":54},"http:\u002F\u002Fpastebin.com\u002FUB8Ye6ZU","Pastebin",[55],"Exploit",{"url":57,"source":58,"tags":59},"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.securityfocus.com\u002Fbid\u002F95858","Securityfocus",[60,61],"Third Party Advisory","VDB Entry",{"url":63,"source":64,"tags":65},"https:\u002F\u002Fcommunity.sophos.com\u002Fproducts\u002Fweb-appliance\u002Fb\u002Fblog\u002Fposts\u002Frelease-of-swa-version-4-3-1","Sophos",[66],"Release Notes",{"url":52,"source":53,"tags":68},[55],{"url":57,"source":58,"tags":70},[60,61],{"url":63,"source":64,"tags":72},[66],6,[75],{"id":76,"name":77,"description":78,"extendedDescription":79,"status":80,"abstraction":81,"structure":82},"CWE-77","Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection')","The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component.","Many protocols and products have their own custom command language.
