SynCE is prone to a remote command-injection vulnerability because it fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input data.
Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary commands in the context of the application, facilitating the remote compromise of affected computers.
SynCE 0.92 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

NOTE: for this proof of concept to work, a script file is needed on the
"$home$/.synce/scripts" directory. Some linux distributions ship with
scripts on this directory by default.
