Jordi Espasa · Monitorix · CVE-2013-7070
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Monitorix versions prior to 3.3.1
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the URI, due to a problem in the `handle request` function in `lib/HTTPServer.pm`.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 3.3.1, update to version 3.3.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `handle request` function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the HTTP server to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using shell metacharacters in the URI until the issue is resolved.
