🚨 FreePBX Endpoint Manager has a sneaky command injection vulnerability! An authenticated user can exploit this to gain remote access — a recipe for disaster! 🔥 Think of it like a hotel staff member who has the keys to your room. If they can also open the safe without your permission, they could take anything they want! This vulnerability allows an authenticated user to execute unauthorized commands, just like that rogue staff member taking advantage of their access. An attacker who knows their way around can commandeer the system as an asterisk user, leading to unauthorized access and potentially catastrophic system changes. Imagine an intruder gaining control over your phone system — they could listen in on calls, steal sensitive information, or manipulate communications! This is absolutely devastating for any organization relying on FreePBX.
