Recommendation: Plan a near-term fix — a public PoC already exists.

Zenoss Core 3.x contains a command injection vulnerability in the showDaemonXMLConfig endpoint. The daemon parameter is passed directly to a Popen() call in ZenossInfo.py without proper sanitation, allowing authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands on the server as the zenoss user.
