Severity: HIGH
Description:
php-ping is a ping script written in PHP.
A vulnerability has been reported in php-ping that may allow remote attackers to execute commands on vulnerable systems.
The vulnerability exists in the php-ping.php script file. Specifically, the variable 'count' is not properly sanitized of shell metacharacters. Input supplied to this variable will be interpreted in the shell when the ping program is invoked by php-ping. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by executing the php-ping script and include malicious shell metacharacters and commands as a value for the 'count' parameter.
