Technical details

This vulnerability is an OS command injection (CWE-78) in Dell ThinOS 10 prior to version 2605_10.2616, where special elements in user-controlled input are not properly neutralized before being passed to OS command execution functions. An unauthenticated attacker with remote network access can exploit this without authentication or user interaction to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the ThinOS process. Successful exploitation allows complete command execution and system compromise. A patch is available in version 2605_10.2616 and later.
