## What is CVE-2022-27224?

CVE-2022-27224 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in n/a, published on 9 May 2022. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

An issue was discovered in Galleon NTS-6002-GPS 4.14.103-Galleon-NTS-6002.V12 4. An authenticated attacker can perform command injection as root via shell metacharacters within the Network Tools section of the web-management interface. All three networking tools are affected (Ping, Traceroute, and DNS Lookup) and their respective input fields (ping_address, trace_address, nslookup_address). NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because the affected components were never shipped in a production release (they were only present in development releases), and because no privilege boundary is crossed (an applicable "authenticated attacker" always also has the supported ability to make an SSH connection as root).

Weakness: CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command)

Check this codebase for CVE-2022-27224 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2022-27224 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in n/a, published on 9 May 2022. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-27224 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
