Asterisk does not require system class authorization for a manager user to use the MixMonitor action, so any manager user who is permitted to use manager commands can potentially execute shell commands as the user executing the Asterisk process. Resolution Upgrade to a version with the patch integrated, apply the patch, or do not allow users who should not have permission to run shell commands to use AMI.
