Ghostty is a cross-platform terminal emulator. Ghostty allows control characters such as 0x03 (Ctrl+C) in pasted and dropped text. These can be used to execute arbitrary commands in some shell environments. This attack requires an attacker to convince the user to copy and paste or drag and drop malicious text. The attack requires user interaction to be triggered, but the dangerous characters are invisible in most GUI environments so it isn't trivially detected, especially if the string contents are complex. Fixed in Ghostty v1.3.0.

Budibase is a low code platform for creating internal tools, workflows, and admin panels. In 3.23.22 and earlier, the PostgreSQL integration constructs shell commands using user-controlled configuration values (database name, host, password, etc.) without proper sanitization. The password and other connection parameters are directly interpolated into a shell command. This affects packages/server/src/integrations/postgres.ts.

An issue pertaining to CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command was discovered in linagora Twake v2023.Q1.1223.

A command injection vulnerability was identified in the web module of Archer AXE75 v1.6/v1.0 router. An authenticated attacker with adjacent-network access may be able to perform remote code execution (RCE) when the router is configured with sysmode=ap. Successful exploitation results in root-level privileges and impacts confidentiality, integrity and availability of the device. This issue affects Archer AXE75 v1.6/v1.0: through 1.3.2 Build 20250107.

A vulnerability was found in Totolink N300RH 6..1c.1353_B20190305. The affected element is the function setWiFiWpsConfig of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi of the component CGI Handler. Performing a manipulation results in os command injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

WeKnora is an LLM-powered framework designed for deep document understanding and semantic retrieval. From version 0.2.5 to before version 0.2.10, an unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in the MCP stdio configuration validation. The application allows unrestricted user registration, meaning any attacker can create an account and exploit the command injection flaw. Despite implementing a whitelist for allowed commands (npx, uvx) and blacklists for dangerous arguments and environment variables, the validation can be bypassed using the -p flag with npx node. This allows any attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the application's privileges, leading to complete system compromise. This issue has been patched in version 0.2.10.

XikeStor SKS8310-8X Network Switch firmware versions 1.04.B07 and prior contain an OS command injection vulnerability in the /goform/PingTestSet endpoint that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands. Attackers can inject malicious commands through the destIp parameter to achieve remote code execution with root privileges on the network switch.

The shell tool within GitHub Copilot CLI versions prior to and including 0.0.422 can allow arbitrary code execution through crafted bash parameter expansion patterns. An attacker who can influence the commands executed by the agent (e.g., via prompt injection through repository files, MCP server responses, or user instructions) can exploit bash parameter transformation operators to execute hidden commands, bypassing the safety assessment that classifies commands as "read-only." This has been patched in version 0.0.423. The vulnerability stems from how the CLI's shell safety assessment evaluates commands before execution. The safety layer parses and classifies shell commands as either read-only (safe) or write-capable (requires user approval). However, several bash parameter expansion features can embed executable code within arguments to otherwise read-only commands, causing them to appear safe while actually performing arbitrary operations. The specific dangerous patterns are ${var@P}, ${var=value} / ${var:=value}, ${!var}, and nested $(cmd) or <(cmd) inside ${...} expansions. An attacker who can influence command text sent to the shell tool - for example, through prompt injection via malicious repository content (README files, code comments, issue bodies), compromised or malicious MCP server responses, or crafted user instructions containing obfuscated commands - could achieve arbitrary code execution on the user's workstation. This is possible even in permission modes that require user approval for write operations, since the commands can appear to use only read-only utilities to ultimately trigger write operations. Successful exploitation could lead to data exfiltration, file modification, or further system compromise.

AVideo is a video-sharing Platform software. Prior to version 7.0, an unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands on the server by injecting shell command substitution into the base64Url GET parameter. This can lead to full server compromise, data exfiltration (e.g., configuration secrets, internal keys, credentials), and service disruption. This issue has been patched in version 7.0.

Idno is a social publishing platform. Prior to version 1.6.4, there is a remote code execution vulnerability via chained import file write and template path traversal. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.4.

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.2 contain an exec approvals (must be enabled) allowlist bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands by injecting command substitution syntax. Attackers can bypass the allowlist protection by embedding unescaped $() or backticks inside double-quoted strings to execute unauthorized commands.

OpenClaw exec-approvals allowlist validation checks pre-expansion argv tokens but execution uses real shell expansion, allowing safe bins like head, tail, or grep to read arbitrary local files via glob patterns or environment variables. Authorized callers or prompt-injection attacks can exploit this to disclose files readable by the gateway or node process when host execution is enabled in allowlist mode.

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.2 fail to properly validate Windows cmd.exe metacharacters in allowlist-gated exec requests (non-default configuration), allowing attackers to bypass command approval restrictions. Remote attackers can craft command strings with shell metacharacters like & or %...% to execute unapproved commands beyond the allowlisted operations.

The web-based Ping diagnostic utility (/IDC_Ping/main.cgi) in International Datacasting Corporation (IDC) SFX Series SuperFlex Satellite  Receiver Web Management Interface version 101 is vulnerable to OS Command Injection. The application insecurely parses the `IPaddr` parameter. An authenticated attacker can bypass server-side semicolon exclusion checks by using alternate shell metacharacters (such as the pipe `|` operator) to append and execute arbitrary shell commands with root privileges.

Froxlor is open source server administration software. Prior to 2.3.4, a typo in Froxlor's input validation code (== instead of =) completely disables email format checking for all settings fields declared as email type. This allows an authenticated admin to store arbitrary strings in the panel.adminmail setting. This value is later concatenated into a shell command executed as root by a cron job, where the pipe character | is explicitly whitelisted. The result is full root-level Remote Code Execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.4.

Multiple authenticated OS command injection vulnerabilities exist in the Cohesity (formerly Stone Ram) TranZman 4.0 Build 14614 through TZM_1757588060_SEP2025_FULL.depot web application API endpoints (including Scheduler and Actions pages). The appliance directly concatenates user-controlled parameters into system commands without sufficient sanitisation, allowing an authenticated admin user to inject and execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges. An attacker can intercept legitimate requests (e.g. during job creation or execution) using a proxy and modify parameters to include shell metacharacters, achieving remote code execution on the appliance. This completely bypasses the intended CLISH restricted shell confinement and results in full system compromise. The vulnerabilities persist in Release 4.0 Build 14614 including the latest patch (as of the time of testing) TZM_1757588060_SEP2025_FULL.depot.
