## Technical details

The vulnerability is an argument injection (CWE-88) in the web_tools_cmd() function, which constructs iperf diagnostic commands without sanitizing the server and options parameters. An authenticated attacker with unprivileged (lowest-level) access can inject the iperf -F flag to read arbitrary files from the filesystem and transmit their contents to a remote server. The attack requires authentication and network access to the web interface; no user interaction is needed. The vulnerable versions are before 7.6.5; patched versions are available.
