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.
