Technical details

A command execution vulnerability exists in DedeCMS V5.7.118 within the file_manage_control.php script. The flaw likely stems from insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input passed to system-level functions or through insecure file handling logic. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request to the affected script, allowing for the execution of arbitrary OS commands. This typically results in full system compromise under the privileges of the web server user. While the advisory does not explicitly state authentication requirements, command execution in file management modules often bypasses or exploits administrative interfaces.
