Description:
FOX_MULDER has discovered a vulnerability in PHP Net Tools, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "host" parameter in "nettools.php" isn't properly sanitised before being used when executing a shell command. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands via the "|" pipe character.
NOTE: The vendor recommends in the documentation to restrict access to the "nettools.php" script to prevent misuse.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.7.1. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 2.7.2.
