Detailed vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute unauthorized PowerShell inline payloads.

The vulnerability exists due to incomplete list of disallowed inputs in the system.run shell-wrapper detection and allowlist approval parsing when processing PowerShell encoded-command wrappers. A remote user can invoke pwsh or powershell with -EncodedCommand, -enc, or -e to execute unauthorized PowerShell inline payloads.

The issue occurs in allowlist mode, where equivalent -Command invocations would require an approval step.
