Vulnerability details
Insecure handling of GET header parameter file included in requests being sent to an instance of the open-source project Phoniebox allows an attacker to create a website, which – when visited by a user – will send malicious requests to…

multiple hosts on the local network. If such a request reaches the server, it will cause one of the following (depending on the chosen payload): shell command execution, reflected XSS or cross-site request forgery. This issue affects Phoniebox in all releases through 2.7. Newer 2.x releases were not tested, but they might also be vulnerable. Phoniebox in version 3.0 and higher are not affected.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Validates inputs to block special elements that would alter OS command execution.
Awareness training educates users on avoiding untrusted links and actions that can be exploited via CSRF.
Penetration testing submits XSS payloads to web applications, detecting cross-site scripting flaws for subsequent remediation.
Requiring user re-entry of credentials for sensitive actions prevents automated forgery of requests without active user participation.
Security testing regimens explicitly include checks for missing or ineffective anti-CSRF protections in web applications.
Platform-independent apps typically execute inside a managed runtime or sandbox that restricts direct OS command execution, reducing the ability to exploit OS command injection.
Output validation against expected content can reject or sanitize script content in generated web pages, reducing XSS exploitability.
Detects anomalous request patterns consistent with cross-site request forgery.
