Description
Gargoyle router management utility versions 1.5.x contain an authenticated OS command execution vulnerability in /utility/run_commands.sh. The application fails to properly restrict or validate input supplied via the 'commands' parameter, allowing an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the underlying system. Successful exploitation may result in full compromise of the device, including unauthorized access to system files and execution of attacker-controlled commands.
