php-ping Remote Command Execution Vulnerability
It has been reported that php-ping may be prone to a remote command execution vulnerability that may allow remote attackers to execute commands on vulnerable systems. The problem exists due to insufficient sanitization of shell metacharacters via the 'count' parameter of php-ping.php script. Exploitation would permit a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server hosting the vulnerable software.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data is properly sanitized.
