Fortra's \nCore Privileged Access Manager (BoKS) contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the boks_autoregisterd service. A remote attacker with network access to the service may be able to cause commands to be executed with the privileges of the service during the autoregistration processing.

Another workaround for both boks-server 8.1 and 9.0 is to disable the service in the boksinit configuration. On the BoKS Master, edit
$BOKS_var/internal/boksinit/master
and comment out the line
`autoregisterd:300:1:0:respawn::$BOKS_lib/boks_autoregisterd -xn`
by prefixing it with
`#`;
then make boks_init reread the file, for example by running
`kill -HUP $(cat $BOKS_var/run/boks_init)`,
or restart BoKS. This stops boks_autoregisterd and prevents it from being respawned; autoregistration is unavailable until the row is restored.
