CVE-2018-19168
Shell Metacharacter Injection in www/modules/save.php in FruityWifi (aka PatatasFritas/PatataWifi) through 2.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with root privileges via a crafted mod_name parameter in a POST request.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.51%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
