This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. 2) Input passed via the "rdProcess" parameter is not properly sanitised in IMManager/IMLogWeb/rdprocess.aspx before being used in "rdServer.ActionProcessor.ProcessAction()" calls. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerabilities are reported in version 8.4.17 and prior. SOLUTION: Update to version 8.4.18. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: 1) Sow Ching Shiong via Secunia. 2) Andrea Micalizzi (rgod) via ZDI.
