What is CVE-2016-10709?

A command injection vulnerability exists in the pfSense web interface, which allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary operating system commands. This occurs due to improper handling of the '|' character in the status_rrd_graph_img.php graph parameter, linked to the _rrd_graph_img.php file. Exploiting this vulnerability could enable attackers to manipulate system-level commands, potentially affecting the security and functionality of the pfSense system.
