CVE-2020-7851

Code execution via attacker-controlled internal method arguments

Published Apr 19, 2021 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Argument injection in INNORIX Agent 9.2.18.385 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute downloaded files through a crafted web page. A web page can set arguments passed to an internal agent method, which downloads a remote file and launches it without adequately constraining argument delimiters. Exploitation requires a user with the agent installed to visit the crafted page, after which attacker-supplied code runs in that user's context.
