A vulnerability has been identified in Spectrum Power 4 (with Web Office Portal). An attacker with network access to the web server on port 80/TCP or 443/TCP could execute system commands with administrative privileges. The security vulnerability could be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the affected service. No user interaction is required to exploit this security vulnerability. Successful exploitation of the security vulnerability compromises confidentiality, integrity or availability of the targeted system. At the time of advisory publication no public exploitation of this security vulnerability was known.
The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component.

Command injection vulnerabilities typically occur when:
Many protocols and products have their own custom command language. While OS or shell command strings are frequently discovered and targeted, developers may not realize that these other command languages might also be vulnerable to attacks. Command injection is a common problem with wrapper programs.
