What is CVE-2014-125118?

A command injection vulnerability exists in the eScan Web Management Console version 5.5-2. The vulnerability arises due to inadequate sanitation of the 'pass' parameter during login requests to login.php. This flaw permits an authenticated attacker, possessing a valid username, to inject arbitrary commands via a specially crafted password. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution, and attackers may escalate privileges to root by leveraging the runasroot utility with mwconf-level privileges. Mitigating this vulnerability is crucial to preventing unauthorized access and potential system compromise.
