VICIdial Authenticated Remote Code Execution

VICIdial Authenticated Remote Code Execution
Posted Oct 1, 2024
Authored by Valentin Lobstein, Jaggar Henry | Site metasploit.com

An attacker with authenticated access to VICIdial as an "agent" can execute arbitrary shell commands as the "root" user. This attack can be chained with CVE-2024-8503 to execute arbitrary shell commands starting from an unauthenticated perspective.
