Technical details

The vulnerability is an OS command injection (CWE-78) in the remote SSH operation functionality of OneCLI 5.5.0 for Linux, where special elements in user-supplied remote paths are not properly neutralized before being passed to OS commands. An attacker can exploit this via network access to supply a malicious remote path that breaks out of the intended command context and executes arbitrary commands with the SSH account's privileges on the target managed server. A fix is available in later versions.
