Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test

Synopsis :

The remote web server contains a Perl script that is susceptible to
arbitrary command execution attacks.

Description :

user-supplied input to the 'name' parameter before passing it to a
shell for execution. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to
exploit this issue to execute arbitrary shell commands on the remote
host subject to the rights of the web server user id.
