Vulnerability Name: Authenticated Remote Code Execution

Vulnerability Description: The config.php file has a variable which takes a GET parameter value and parses it into a shell_exec(''); function without properly sanitizing any shell arguments, therefore remote code execution is possible.

Additionally as the media server is running as root by default attackers can use the sudo command within this shell_exec(''); function, this allows for privilege escalation by means of (Authenticated) Remote Code Execution.
