Vulnerability Overview

The iMember360 plugin 3.8.012 through 3.9.001 for WordPress allows remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the i4w_trace parameter. NOTE: this can be leveraged with CVE-2014-8948 to allow remote attackers to execute code. NOTE: it is not clear whether this issue itself crosses privileges.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.9.002, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')) The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment.
