3.0 (Low) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N

Details

In EMQX before 5.8.6, administrators can install arbitrary novel plugins via the Dashboard web interface. NOTE: the Supplier's position is that this is the intended behavior; however, 5.8.6 adds a defense-in-depth feature in which a plugin's acceptability (for later Dashboard installation) is set by the "emqx ctl plugins allow" CLI command.
