OSSP Shiela Shell Command Execution Vulnerability

OSSP Shiela is prone to a vulnerability that may permit the execution of arbitrary shell commands. This issue is due to the application's failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in a 'system()' function call.

This issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of users executing a vulnerable version of the application.
