CVE Name
Description It is possible for a user of the Asterisk Manager Interface to
bypass a security check and execute shell commands when they
should not have that ability. Sending the "Async" header with
the "Application" header during an Originate action, allows
authenticated manager users to execute shell commands. Only
users with the "system" privilege should be able to do this.
Resolution Asterisk now performs the proper access check where appropriate
during the originate manager action.
