Description
Summary
It seems that when running goshs without arguments it is possible for anyone to execute commands on the server. This was tested on version 1.0.4 of goshs. The command function was introduced in version 0.3.4.
Details
It seems that the function ```dispatchReadPump``` does not checks the option cli ```-c```, thus allowing anyone to execute arbitrary command through the use of websockets.
PoC
Used websocat for the POC:
```bash
echo -e '{"type": "command", "content": "id"}' |./websocat 'ws://192.168.1.11:8000/?ws' -t
```
Impact
The vulnerability will only impacts goshs server on vulnerable versions.
