Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The _httpsrequest function in Snoopy 1.2, used in products such as WordPress, MagpieRSS, Ampache, and Jinzora, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in an HTTPS URL. The issue is due to improper handling of these characters by the fetch function.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can take control of the server, execute arbitrary commands, access sensitive data, or install malware.

Recommendation

Immediately update Snoopy to version 1.2.1 or later, which includes a security fix. If an update is not possible, restrict access to HTTPS-related functions and apply filtering of special characters.
