AI Insight

LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.

HGiga MailSherlock MSR45/SSR45 module iSherlock-user-4.5 before 115 is vulnerable to command injection via improper parameter validation, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Vulnerability

HGiga MailSherlock MSR45/SSR45 module iSherlock-user-4.5 versions prior to 115 fail to properly validate specific parameters. This flaw allows command injection attacks. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable with high attack complexity and requires no authentication or user interaction [1].

Exploitation

An attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests to the vulnerable MailSherlock instance, injecting arbitrary operating system commands through the unvalidated parameters. The attack complexity is high, but no prior authentication or user interaction is needed [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation enables an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying system with the privileges of the MailSherlock service. This can lead to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS 8.1) [1].

Mitigation

The vendor released a fix in version iSherlock-user-4.5-115.i386.rpm. Users should update to this version or later. No workarounds are documented in the available reference [1].
