Unauthenticated command execution via insufficient character filtering
Published Oct 31, 2022 · Updated May 6, 2025
OS command injection in Mail SQR Expert 2dut.190301 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands without authentication. An undisclosed function filters special characters inadequately before input reaches a system command; the vendor has not identified the function, parameter, or command construction. A network-reachable deployment is sufficient for exploitation, which permits arbitrary system operations and can interrupt the service.
