Description

Currently rudder-pkg runs a gpg command in a shell after downloading a file from the server.

One of the gpg command parameter is built from the remote file name, it is hence possible to run a command as root with a specially crafted file name.

This happens before signature check so an attacker would only have to impersonnate the plugins server (which uses https by default) to take control of a server.
