Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output via the Web UI. An attacker can execute arbitrary system commands by supplying crafted input to configuration fields such as image_file_name and movie_filename, that are written directly to configuration files and later interpreted by the underlying service. This is only exploitable if an attacker has authenticated access to the administrative web interface.
