OpenMediaVault rpc.php Authenticated Cron Remote Code Execution

Disclosed
Oct 30, 2013

Description

OpenMediaVault allows an authenticated user to create cron jobs as root on the system.
An attacker can abuse this by sending a POST request via rpc.php to schedule and execute
a cron entry that runs arbitrary commands as root on the system.
All OpenMediaVault versions including the latest release 7.4.2-2 are vulnerable.
