id: CVE-2020-35729

info:
  name: Klog Server <=2.41 - Unauthenticated Command Injection
  author: dwisiswant0
  severity: critical
  description: Klog Server 2.4.1 and prior is susceptible to an unauthenticated command injection vulnerability. The `authenticate.php` file uses the `user` HTTP POST parameter in a call to the `shell_exec()` PHP function without appropriate input validation, allowing arbitrary command execution as the apache user. The sudo configuration permits the Apache user to execute any command as root without providing a password, resulting in privileged command execution as root. Originated from Metasploit module, copyright (c) space-r7.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade to a patched version of Klog Server (>=2.42) or apply the vendor-supplied patch.
