Unauthenticated process execution via command-line manipulation
Published Apr 1, 2022 · Updated Apr 16, 2025
Command injection in MDT Software AutoSave and AutoSave for System Platform allows remote attackers to execute malicious processes via an API. The API accepts a malicious file whose content alters the process-creation command line and supplies an attacker-controlled command-line argument. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation runs a malicious process on the affected server.
