What is CVE-2012-10041?
WAN Emulator version 2.3 has critical security flaws that allow unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary commands on the server. The vulnerability arises from the 'result.php' script that improperly handles user input from the 'pc' POST parameter, using shell_exec() in a manner that lacks adequate sanitization. Additionally, a SUID-root binary named 'dosu' is also susceptible to command injection, where an attacker can manipulate its first argument. Exploiting these two vulnerabilities in tandem can enable an attacker to gain full control over the system, executing commands with elevated privileges, including root access.
