Description
The administrative operations within the Carbon Console do not adequately validate specific user-supplied input. This oversight allows a malicious actor with administrative privileges to inject and execute arbitrary code remotely.
Successful exploitation enables a threat actor with administrative privileges and Carbon Console access to execute remote arbitrary code through specific administrative operations, leading to a complete compromise of the affected system.
