High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.39%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The application login page in AKIPS Network Monitor 15.37 through 16.5 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands via shell metacharacters in the username parameter (a failed login attempt returns the command-injection output to a limited login failure field). This is fixed in 16.6.
