Remote Execution

Definitions

1. The ability to run commands or code on a target system from another system or location. In security discussions, remote execution usually refers either to legitimate administrative capability or to vulnerabilities that let attackers achieve remote code execution without local access.

   In plain English: Running commands or code on a system from somewhere else.

   Example: "The appliance flaw allowed remote execution through a crafted management request without needing valid credentials."
