SYSTEM code execution via injected JVM options
Published Sep 21, 2022 · Updated May 28, 2025
Argument injection in Ahsay AhsayCBS 9.1.4.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute code as SYSTEM through the web interface. The ShowAdvanced.do Runtime Options handler treats CRLF-delimited editConfigBean.xss values as JVM startup options, allowing injected -D switches to enable unauthenticated JMX. Administrator access to Runtime Options and a server restart are required; the demonstrated JMX path runs arbitrary OS commands as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
