CVE-2012-5693 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Bulb Security Smartphone Pentest Framework (SPF) before 0.1.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the ipAddressTB parameter to (1) remoteAttack.pl or (2) guessPassword.pl in frameworkgui/; the filename parameter to (3) CSAttack.pl or (4) SEAttack.pl in frameworkgui/; the phNo2Attack parameter to (5) CSAttack.pl or (6) SEAttack.pl in frameworkgui/; the (7) platformDD2 parameter to frameworkgui/SEAttack.pl; the (8) agentURLPath or (9) agentControlKey parameter to frameworkgui/attach2agents.pl; or the (10) controlKey parameter to frameworkgui/attachMobileModem.pl. NOTE: The hostingPath parameter to CSAttack.pl and SEAttack.pl vectors and the appURLPath parameter to attachMobileModem.pl vector are covered by CVE-2012-5878.. EPSS estimates a 1.66% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
