CVE-2024-44809Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via unsanitized position parameter

Published Sep 3, 2024 · Updated Sep 4, 2024

OS command injection in Recantha Pi Camera Project 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands through tilt.php. The tilt.php handler concatenates the unvalidated position GET value directly into a command string passed to PHP shell_exec. No authentication is required; a network-reachable deployment executes injected shell commands with the web server user's privileges.
