Directly requires validation and neutralization of untrusted input to the WebUI to block OS command metacharacters.
Enforces authentication and authorization checks before any WebUI request can reach command-execution paths.
Restricts network exposure of the Console WebUI so unauthenticated remote attackers cannot reach the vulnerable endpoint.
