CVE-2023-50917Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via unescaped transport parameter

Published Dec 15, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

OS command injection in MajorDoMo before 0662e5e allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands through the thumb.php endpoint. The endpoint concatenates the transport query parameter into an ffmpeg command passed to PHP exec without shell escaping. No authentication or user interaction is required, and injected commands run with the web-server process's privileges.
