SOUND4 IMPACT/FIRST/PULSE/Eco <=2.x (dns.php) Conditional Command Injection

Title: SOUND4 IMPACT/FIRST/PULSE/Eco <=2.x (dns.php) Conditional Command Injection
Advisory ID: ZSL-2022-5733
Type: Local/Remote
Impact: System Access, DoS
Risk: (4/5)
Release Date: 14.12.2022
Summary
The SOUND4 IMPACT introduces an innovative process - mono and stereo parts of the signal are processed separately to obtain perfect consistency in terms of both sound and level. Therefore, in moving reception, when the FM receiver switches from stereo to mono and back to stereo, the sound variations and changes in level are reduced by over 90%. In the SOUND4 IMPACT processing chain, the stereo expander can be used substantially without any limitations.

With its advanced functionalities and impressive versatility, SOUND4 PULSE gives clients the ultimate price - performance ratio, providing much more than just a processor. Flexible and powerful, it ensures perfect sound quality and full compatibility with radio broadcasting standards and can be used simultaneously for FM and HD, DAB, DRM or streaming.

SOUND4 FIRST provides all the most important functionalities you need in an FM/HD processor and sets the bar high both in terms of performance and affordability. Designed to deliver a sound of uncompromising quality, this tool gives you 2-band processing, a digital stereo generator and an IMPACT Clipper
Description
This vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to create a file in the /tmp directory that contains malicious commands. The file must have the filename ending with .dns.pid, and the commands in the file can only be executed once by an external unauthenticated attacker. By calling the vulnerable script and making a single HTTP POST request, the attacker can gain command execution on the system. After the request is made, the file containing the malicious commands will be deleted.
