                Summary

                ElectricCommander is a toolset that facilitates remote deployment of environment configurations from a centralized server to attached agents. Due to excessive file system permissions on two Perl source code files, an unprivileged local attacker can modify these files to insert code. The attacker's code is then executed as the privileged user running these administrative tools.
