Description

WebGUI contains a flaw that may allow a remote malicious user to execute arbitrary commands. This flaw exists because the application does not properly filter specially crafted parameters upon submission to the 'lib/WebGUI/Asset.pm' script, in the www_add function, when adding a new Asset. It is possible that the flaw may allow the execution of arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity.
