**Description**
The issue is related to a post-authentication command injection vulnerability in the file upload binary, allowing an authenticated attacker with administrator privileges to execute some operating system (OS) commands on an affected device via FTP. This can be achieved by exploiting the vulnerability in the file upload process, which does not properly neutralize special elements used in the command.
