Obviously I can't speak authoratively here... I mean the ueber-skilled team vuln-dev people who are payed to do this sort of thing may have top-secret zero-day reasons why this might not work.... but hey it worked for me.

[root@localhost lib]# export LAME=""whoami"""" [root@localhost lib]# `echo "$LAME" | sed "s#\;##g"` root
[root@localhost lib]#

wh00pz - lookz like command execution to me

In case you didn't realise - it'z the ` and ` characters around the whole expression that allowz uz command execution....

[root@localhost lib]# echo $LAME
whoami
[root@localhost lib]# `echo $LAME`
root
[root@localhost lib]#

BTW - it workz fine in a shell script.....
