AI-suggested
Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the tailscale.do_login RPC method to trusted users only and consider disabling the luci-app-tailscale-community application if feasible to reduce exposure.
Description
luci-app-tailscale-community contains a command injection vulnerability in the tailscale.do_login RPC method that allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands as root. The vulnerability exists because user-controlled loginserver and loginserver_authkey parameters are improperly quoted within a double-quoted shell command, allowing shell substitutions like $() to be evaluated by the outer shell before argument processing.
