Description

This exploits a command execution in Pi-Hole Web Interface
The Settings > API/Web inetrace page contains the field
Top Domains/Top Advertisers which is validated by a regex which does not properly
filter system commands, which can then be executed by calling the gravity
functionality. However, the regex only allows a-z, 0-9, _.
