DescriptionNVD

FastNetMon Community Edition through 1.2.9 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the Juniper router integration plugin. The _log() function in src/juniper_plugin/fastnetmon_juniper.php (lines 117-118) constructs shell commands by concatenating the $msg parameter directly into exec() calls: exec("echo date \"- {FASTNETMON] - " . $msg . " \" >> " . $FILE_LOG_TMP). The $msg variable contains unsanitized data derived from command-line arguments argv[1] through argv[3], which represent the attack IP address, direction, and power. While FastNetMon's C++ core currently passes IP addresses via inet_ntoa() (which only produces safe dotted-decimal notation), the PHP script performs no input validation or shell escaping. If the script is invoked directly, by another orchestration system, or if future code changes pass string-sourced IPs, arbitrary commands can be injected. The correct fix is to replace exec() with file_put_contents() or use escapeshellarg() on all parameters.

OS command injection in FastNetMon Community Edition (through 1.2.9) lets attacker-controlled input reach an unescaped exec() call inside the Juniper router integration plugin, enabling arbitrary shell command execution on the host. The flaw lives in the _log() function of src/juniper_plugin/fastnetmon_juniper.php, where the $msg argument (built from argv[1]-argv[3]: attack IP, direction, power) is concatenated directly into a shell command. …
