Xplico before 1.2.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the name of an uploaded PCAP file. NOTE: this issue can be exploited without authentication by leveraging the user registration feature.
The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component.
