Title
Command injection via malicious configuration
Summary
A highly authenticated attacker can alter the config generator injecting a payload into future created configurations. The device is not correctly checking this configuration value before passing it to an system execute leading to code execution. This can result in a total loss of confidentiality, integrity and availability.
Severity
