1. Description
File: /root/www/api/backup/logout.cgi
```
proc main { } {
set sid [getQueryArg sid]
if [catch { session_logout $sid}] { error LOGOUT }
puts "Content-Type: text/plain"
puts ""
puts "OK"
}
```
`$sid` value is passed directly to `session_logout` function.
File: /root/www/tcl/eq3/session.tcl
```
proc session_logout { sid } {
rega_exec "system.ClearSessionID(\"$sid\");"
}
```
`$sid` value is not escaped properly.
We can close current rega script using `");` and execute our payload.
2. Proof of Concept
POC in Python which enable ssh access and change root password without any credentials.
