Technical details

The UTMIncidentCommandWebsocket.processCommand() handler, mapped to the /command/{hostname} STOMP destination, fails to enforce role-based access control or command validation before forwarding commands via gRPC to connected agents. An authenticated attacker can send arbitrary OS commands regardless of their assigned role; agents commonly execute with root or SYSTEM privileges, granting full system compromise.
