Technical details

The ping tool in the management portal's websocket interface suffers from command injection (CWE-78) due to lack of input sanitization. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted websocket request to execute arbitrary shell commands on the Android OS via command chaining (e.g., "1.1.1.1; touch /sdcard/pwn"). The vulnerability requires network access to the device but no authentication credentials.
