CVE-2021-27102 is an operating system command execution vulnerability in Accellion File Transfer Appliance (FTA). It affects FTA version 9_12_411 and earlier and was fixed in FTA_9_12_416 and later. Available reporting describes the flaw as command execution via a local web service call and further indicates it is an OS command injection issue exploitable by an attacker with local access and low privileges. In the broader Accellion FTA intrusion activity, this vulnerability was one of four flaws leveraged against legacy FTA deployments. Successful exploitation can enable execution of attacker-controlled commands on the appliance and can contribute to follow-on actions such as deployment of malicious tooling, data access, and exfiltration.
