Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the billing module handler where user-supplied input in the uid field of a crafted billing_data POST parameter is deserialized and passed unmodified to proc_open() via vexec(), enabling OS command injection. The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication through specific parameter combinations and inject arbitrary shell payloads, resulting in remote code execution as the root user.
