Descriptions

A server auth command injection authentication bypass vulnerability in Trend Micro Smart Protection Server (Standalone) versions 3.3 and below could allow remote attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations.

Una vulnerabilidad de omisión de autenticación y de inyección de comandos auth del servidor en Trend Micro Smart Protection Server (Standalone) en versiones 3.3 y anteriores podría permitir que los atacantes remotos escalen privilegios en instalaciones vulnerables.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Trend Micro Smart Protection Server. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of credentials provided at login. When parsing the username, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges to resources normally protected from the user.
