Xitami Server Side Includes (SSI) logging code execution
| xitami-ssi-logging-code-execution (41645) |  High Risk |
Description:
Xitami could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a format string error when logging Server Side Includes (SSI) requests. By sending a specially-crafted URI that ends in .ssi, .shtm, or .shtml, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges or cause the application to crash.
