Core asks LANDesk team for a status update and reminds the vendor that

To reproduce, request a password change for a user provisioned on some
Solaris server. The password has to consist of a UNIX shell command to
be executed repeated twice and separated by the new line character. One
way of doing it is to use an intercepting web proxy (such as Webscarab)
to modify HTTP message carrying the password change request. For
example, to inject 'id > /x' command, the modified request will look as
following:
POST /idm/user/changePassword.jsp?lang=en&cntry=US HTTP/1.1
id=***&command=Save&activeControl=&resourceAccounts.selectAll=true&
