NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream opennds package and not the opennds package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

In openNDS before 11.0.0, the client_params.sh script, invoked by the openNDS daemon to serve the authenticated client status page, is vulnerable to OS command injection through crafted HTTP GET query parameter keys. An authenticated captive portal user can inject arbitrary shell commands by embedding semicolons in a URL query parameter name.
