CVE-2018-17173 is a remote command injection vulnerability in LG SuperSign CMS, including the SuperSignEZ CMS component built into some LG SuperSign TVs. Improper handling of the sourceUri parameter in the getThumbnail thumbnail-generation endpoint allows remote attackers to inject shell commands and execute arbitrary code. A public proof of concept targets the service on port 9080 and establishes a reverse shell. Exploit references identify LG SuperSign EZ CMS 2.5, while the exploit text lists SuperSignEZ 1.3 as vulnerable and LG WebOS 3.10 as the tested platform; the complete affected-version range is not established.
