Description

eGroupWare contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands. The issue is due to the 'spellchecker.php' script not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the 'spellchecker_lang' and 'aspell_path' parameters. This may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands.
