id: CVE-2020-13167

info:
  name: Netsweeper <=6.4.3 - Python Code Injection
  author: dwisiswant0
  severity: critical
  description: |
    Netsweeper through 6.4.3 allows unauthenticated remote code execution because webadmin/tools/unixlogin.php (with certain Referer headers) launches a command line with client-supplied parameters, and allows injection of shell metacharacters.
  impact: |
    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to remote code execution, compromising the affected system.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade to a patched version of Netsweeper (>=6.4.4) to mitigate this vulnerability.
