What is CVE-2012-10046?

The E-Mail Security Virtual Appliance (ESVA) is susceptible to an unauthenticated command injection vulnerability in the learn-msg.cgi script. This issue arises from the failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input through the 'id' parameter, which permits attackers to inject arbitrary shell commands. Successful exploitation does not require authentication and enables full command execution on the underlying system, posing significant security risks.
