X-Plane before 11.41 has multiple improper path validations that could allow reading and writing files from/to arbitrary paths (or a leak of OS credentials to a remote system) via crafted network packets. This could be used to execute arbitrary commands on the system.
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.
