- CVEs with nessus.description==The remote version of telnet does not sanitize the user-supplied 'USER' environment variable. By supplying a specially malformed USER environment variable, an attacker may force the remote telnet server to believe that the user has already authenticated.
For instance, the following command :
telnet -l '-fbin' target.example.com
will result in obtaining a shell with the privileges of the 'bin' user.
