Summary

PingTools Network Utilities 4.64 contains an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in the Host field of a Watcher ICMP service. The application appends the attacker-controlled Host value to a ping command, serializes it as a single string, and runs it through sh -c. A local attacker who can create or modify a Watcher service can inject shell syntax and execute arbitrary commands with the PingTools application UID and its granted Android permissions. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.6 (HIGH).
