CVE-2014-125118: Microworld Escan Web Management Console

Critical severity, CVSS 9.4. EPSS: 4.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A command injection vulnerability exists in the eScan Web Management Console version 5.5-2. The application fails to properly sanitize the 'pass' parameter when processing login requests to login.php, allowing an authenticated attacker with a valid username to inject arbitrary commands via a specially crafted password value. Successful exploitation results in remote code execution. Privilege escalation to root is possible by abusing the runasroot utility with mwconf-level privileges.
