Asterisk Project Security Advisory - AST-2011-006
Posted Apr 22, 2011
Authored by Matthew Nicholson | Site asterisk.org

Asterisk Project Security Advisory - It is possible for a user of the Asterisk Manager Interface to bypass a security check and execute shell commands when they should not have that ability. Sending the "Async" header with the "Application" header during an Originate action, allows authenticated manager users to execute shell commands. Only users with the "system" privilege should be able to do this.
