Summary
ZeroTier VPN software is affected by this vulnerability, which could allow a remote attacker who already has high-level privileges to run arbitrary system commands. Because those commands run with root privileges, an attacker could gain full control over the affected system.
Read the original description
Improper input validation in the ZeroTier VPN function may allow a remote attacker with high privileges to inject system commands and execute them with root privileges.
What to do
Check whether your setup matches what the bug needs.
