Wowza Streaming Engine below 4.9.1 permits an authenticated Streaming Engine Manager administrator to define a custom application property and poison a stream target for high-privilege remote code execution.

Weakness

The product allows a file to be uploaded, but it relies on the file name or extension of the file to determine the appropriate behaviors. This could be used by attackers to cause the file to be misclassified and processed in a dangerous fashion.
