CVE-2020-14947Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated command execution via unsanitized SNMP path

Published Jun 30, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

OS command injection in OCS Inventory NG 2.7 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands through the SNMP settings interface. get_mib_oid concatenates the stored SNMP_MIB_DIRECTORY value and a posted mib_file into a snmptranslate command, then passes it to shell_exec without shell escaping. An authenticated user who can modify SNMP settings and trigger MIB processing gains command execution with the application's privileges.
