What is CVE-2015-10145?

The Gargoyle router management utility versions 1.5.x contains an authenticated OS command execution vulnerability. The flaw resides in the /utility/run_commands.sh script, where the application does not properly validate or restrict inputs supplied via the 'commands' parameter. This oversight allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands on the device's underlying system. If exploited, this vulnerability can lead to complete system compromise, including unauthorized access to sensitive files and execution of malicious commands controlled by the attacker.

Affected Version(s)

Gargoyle Router Management Utility 1.5.x
