Open Source Snort 3 Control Channel Socket Arbitrary Command Execution Vulnerability
// summary
A Snort 3 vulnerability lets an authenticated local low-privilege user execute arbitrary commands as the Snort process through an unauthenticated control channel socket.
// from the source
A vulnerability in the control channel socket implementation of Open Source Snort 3 could allow an authenticated, local attacker with low privileges to execute arbitrary commands as the Snort 3 process user. This vulnerability is due to a lack of authentication when a local user connects to the Snort control channel socket. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by connecting to the Snort 3 control channel socket as a local user. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arb
