Technical details

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the boa web server's formWsc() function when processing the peerRptPin HTTP POST parameter. After authentication, the unsanitized peerRptPin value is passed directly to system() calls without escaping, allowing arbitrary shell command execution. The vulnerability is reachable via both the iwpriv and echo code paths regardless of configuration state.
