Description Cedric Buissart 2018-03-16 13:41:36 UTC
To prevent some information disclosure, pcsd actively removes '--debug' from command requested over the REST interface, but this can be bypassed:
----8<---
 235   # do not reveal potentialy sensitive information
 236   command_decoded.delete('--debug')
---->8----

The information gained could then be used to gain higher privileges.
