Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wp-pagenavi domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

The Finger Server’ Remote Command Execution

The Finger Server is a perl script for providing .plan-like functionality through a website. Due to insufficient input checking, it is possible for remote unauthenticated users to execute shell commands on the server which will run with the privileges of the webserver. A request like: http://target/finger.cgi?action=archives&cmd=specific&filename=99.10.28.15.23.username.|<shell command>| will cause the server to execute whatever command is specified.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be performed to ensure that user-supplied data is not used to execute arbitrary commands.
