Description

LTSP LDM through 2.18.06 allows fat-client root access because the LDM_USERNAME variable may have an empty value if the user's shell lacks support for Bourne shell syntax. This is related to a run-x-session script.

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
