AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit leverages an authenticated RCE vulnerability in PRTG Network Monitor by creating malicious notifications that execute arbitrary commands via crafted file writes and PowerShell execution. It adds a new admin user 'pentest' with a known password.
Description
An issue was discovered in PRTG Network Monitor before 18.2.39. An attacker who has access to the PRTG System Administrator web console with administrative privileges can exploit an OS command injection vulnerability (both on the server and on devices) by sending malformed parameters in sensor or notification management scenarios.
