CWE-ID: CWE-77 - Command injection

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication, gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary commands on the target system.

The weakness exists due to a built-in application to perform forensic analysis on certain files is disabled in the free Community Edition, but the code is still there. A remote attacker can abuse both components of the forensics application (servlet running in Java, and the main web application running PHP), bypass authentication, write a file to disk, and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
