Description:
blahplok has reported a vulnerability in CSV_DB, which can be exploited by malicious people to execute arbitrary commands.
Input passed to the "file" parameter in csv_db.cgi is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands on the server by appending the commands to the end of the "file" parameter using the pipe character.
The vulnerability has been reported in CSV_DB version 1.0. The vendor has confirmed that the vulnerability also affects i_DB version 1.0.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and verified.
Use another product.
