Summary
Aviatrix Controllers contain an OS command injection vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. Shell metacharacters can be sent to /v1/api in cloud_type for list_flightpath_destination_instances, or src_cloud_type for flightpath_connection_test.
Description
An issue was discovered in Aviatrix Controller before 7.1.4191 and 7.2.x before 7.2.4996.
