CVE Database - OS Command Injection

Exposed methods allow authenticated users to create and execute arbitrary JavaScript code on the server. The scripts execute with full access, enabling complete system compromise as commands are executed as root.

Zed is a code editor. Prior to 0.229.0, Zed's terminal tool permission system can be bypassed via bash arithmetic expansion $((...)), allowing execution of arbitrary commands nested inside an allowlisted command like echo. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.229.0.

Zed is a code editor. Prior to 0.227.1, Zed IDE executes arbitrary commands when opening a folder with a malicious .git/config file that abuses the core.fsmonitor Git configuration option. This allows an attacker to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) when a victim open a folder in untrusted mode. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.227.1.

Zed is a code editor. Prior to 0.229.0, Zed's terminal tool permission system can be bypassed by prepending environment variable assignments to allowlisted commands, hijacking program behavior (e.g., PAGER) to execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.229.0.

Zed is a code editor. Prior to 0.227.1, Zed builds SSH/WSL remote commands as a shell command string that starts with exec env ..., but environment variable keys are inserted without shell quoting or validation. If an attacker can control an environment variable key (for example via project terminal settings), shell expansions in the key (such as $(...)) are evaluated by the remote shell when a terminal is opened. This can lead to arbitrary command execution on the remote host under the victim user's account. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.227.1.

A flaw was found in Samba. A remote attacker can exploit a misconfiguration in Samba file servers and classic domain controllers that use the "check password script" feature. If this script is configured with the %u substitution character, the client-controlled username is passed without proper escaping of shell meta-characters. This vulnerability allows an attacker to achieve remote command execution on the affected system. This issue primarily affects non-standard configurations where the "check password script" is used with %u and the samba-dcerpcd service is started as a system service.

A command injection vulnerability was discovered in the `rpmuncompress` utility of RPM. When extracting certain archive formats (ZIP, 7z, GEM) to a specified destination directory, the tool inserts the archive's top-level folder name into a shell command without properly sanitizing it. A specially crafted archive containing shell metacharacters in its folder name can execute arbitrary commands as the user running the extraction.

Microsoft UFO open-source framework for intelligent automation across devices and platforms. Microsoft UFO tagged releases up to and including v3.0.0 contain an OS command injection vulnerability in the shell action replay path. In affected releases, ShellReceiver.run_shell() passes a command string from action parameters directly to subprocess.Popen() with shell=True and executable=powershell.exe. The same shell-execution behavior is also reachable through ShellReceiver.execute_command(). The shell receiver is invoked by action classes such as RunShellCommand.execute() and ExecuteCommand.execute(), which forward stored action parameters to the shell receiver. Because UFO stores planned and executed actions in per-session JSON records, an attacker who can write or modify a session/action JSON file can plant a shell action. When the session is resumed or replayed, UFO executes the attacker's command as the UFO process user.

Tanium addressed an unauthorized code execution vulnerability in Connect.

uniget is a universal installer and updater for (container) tools. Prior to 0.27.1, a command injection vulnerability exists in uniget due to unsafe execution of the check field from metadata files using /bin/bash -c. Because the check field is loaded directly from untrusted JSON metadata without validation or sanitization, an attacker can craft malicious metadata that executes arbitrary shell commands on the victim’s system when common uniget operations such as describe, install, update, or inspect are performed. This vulnerability can lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running uniget. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.27.1.

claude-code-cache-fix is a cache optimization proxy for Claude Code. From 3.5.0 to before 3.5.2, tools/quota-statusline.sh (introduced in v3.5.0) interpolates Claude Code's hook stdin payload directly into a Python triple-quoted string literal. A ''' byte sequence in any user-controlled field of the payload closes the literal early and lets following bytes execute as Python in the user's Claude Code process. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.5.2.

pam_usb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.8.7, src/tmux.c reads the user's $TMUX environment variable, splits it on commas, and interpolates the socket-path component directly into a shell command passed to popen(). Because the value is placed inside double-quotes without sanitisation, any value containing " terminates the quoted string and injects arbitrary shell syntax. popen() runs as root inside the PAM stack. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.7.

pam_usb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.8.7, a crafted UUID such as $(id>/tmp/rce) in the config causes root RCE when pamusb-conf --reset-pads is run. A USB device with a crafted filesystem UUID (some controllers allow this) can inject the payload at --add-device time. Also, userName from the XML config is passed to os.system() in pamusb-agent, which invokes a shell. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.7.

pam_usb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.8.7, pamusb-pinentry reads the PINENTRY_FALLBACK_APP environment variable and executes it directly without any validation. Any process that can set environment variables before pamusb-pinentry is invoked can point PINENTRY_FALLBACK_APP at an arbitrary binary or script and have it executed with the privileges of the pam_usb tool chain. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.7.

systeminformation is a System and OS information library for node.js. From 4.17.0 to 5.31.5, on Linux, systeminformation is vulnerable to command injection in networkInterfaces() when an active NetworkManager connection profile name contains shell metacharacters. The vulnerable value is obtained internally from real nmcli device status output. The library sanitizes the network interface name before using it in shell commands, but it does not apply equivalent sanitization to the parsed NetworkManager connection profile name. That unsanitized connectionName is then interpolated into three shell command strings executed through execSync(). This vulnerability is fixed in 5.31.6.

Sherlock hunts down social media accounts by username across social networks. Prior to 0.16.1, the GitHub Actions workflow validate_modified_targets.yml is vulnerable to command injection via the pull_request_target trigger. Any GitHub user can execute arbitrary commands on the CI runner and exfiltrate the GITHUB_TOKEN by opening a pull request. No approval, review, or merge is required. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.16.1.

Dalfox is a powerful open-source XSS scanner and utility focused on automation. Prior to 2.13.0, when dalfox is started in REST API server mode (dalfox server), the server binds to 0.0.0.0:6664 by default and requires no API key unless the operator explicitly passes --api-key. Because model.Options — including FoundAction and FoundActionShell — is deserialized directly from attacker-supplied JSON in POST /scan, and because dalfox.Initialize explicitly propagates those two fields into the final scan options without stripping them, any unauthenticated caller who can reach the server port can supply an arbitrary shell command that the dalfox process will execute on the host whenever a scan finding is triggered. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.13.0.

BentoML is a Python library for building online serving systems optimized for AI apps and model inference. Prior to 1.4.39, a malicious bentofile.yaml containing a newline-injected value in envs[*].name produces unquoted RUN directives in the BentoML-generated Dockerfile. When the victim runs bentoml containerize on the imported bento, those RUN directives execute on the host during docker build. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.39.

BentoML is a Python library for building online serving systems optimized for AI apps and model inference. Prior to 1.4.39, src/bentoml/_internal/container/frontend/dockerfile/templates/base_v2.j2 interpolates docker.base_image raw with no escaping, newline filtering, or validation. A malicious bento.yaml with a multi-line docker.base_image value smuggles arbitrary Dockerfile directives into the generated Dockerfile, and bentoml containerize then runs docker build which executes the injected RUN directives on the victim host. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.39.

picoclaw <=v0.1.2 and earlier is vulnerable to OS command injection via the ExecTool component (pkg/tools/shell.go). The guardCommand() function attempts to restrict shell command execution using a denylist of 8 regular expressions, but the denylist is incomplete.

@pensar/apex <= 0.0.58 is vulnerable to OS command injection via the smart_enumerate tool. The createSmartEnumerateTool() function in src/core/agent/tools.ts constructs a shell command by concatenating unsanitized values from the extensions array and url parameter into a string passed to Node.js child_process.exec(). Because exec() spawns a shell, shell metacharacters in those values are interpreted by the host shell, resulting in arbitrary OS command execution with the privileges of the running process. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because the report is about intended behavior, as explained in the Security Policy of the pensarai/apex GitHub repo.

A highly authenticated attacker can alter the config generator injecting a payload into future created configurations. The device is not correctly checking this configuration value before passing it to an system execute leading to code execution. This can result in a total loss of confidentiality, integrity and availability.

HTTP::Daemon versions before 6.17 for Perl allow OS command injection via send_file(). send_file() opens its string argument with Perl's 2-arg open(). The 2-arg form interprets magic prefixes: '| cmd' and 'cmd |' open a pipe to a subprocess, '> path' and '>> path' open the path for write or append. Untrusted input passed to send_file() can run OS commands at the daemon process UID. The read-pipe form ('cmd |') also leaks subprocess stdout into the HTTP response body. The write-mode forms can create or truncate files at attacker chosen paths.

Tanium addressed an unauthorized code execution vulnerability in Connect.

Lumiverse is a full-featured AI chat application. Prior to 0.9.7, the Spindle extension build pipeline calls bun install without the --ignore-scripts flag before running the static backend safety scan (assertSafeBackendBundle). A malicious extension that ships a package.json with a preinstall, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle script achieves host-level code execution the moment an admin presses Install before any dist file is inspected. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.7.

Privilege escalation via background service of OpenVPN Connect 3.5.1 through 3.8.1 on macOS allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges via local IPC channel

FastNetMon Community Edition through 1.2.9 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the MikroTik router integration plugin. The _log() function in src/mikrotik_plugin/fastnetmon_mikrotik.php (lines 107-108) constructs shell commands by concatenating the $msg parameter directly into exec() calls: exec("echo `date` \"- {FASTNETMON] - " . $msg . " \" >> " . $FILE_LOG_TMP). This is identical in pattern to the Juniper plugin vulnerability. The $msg variable contains unsanitized attack data from command-line arguments. An attacker who can influence argv[] values can inject arbitrary shell commands. The fix is to replace exec() with file_put_contents() or use escapeshellarg().

FastNetMon Community Edition through 1.2.9 contains a configuration injection vulnerability in the Juniper router integration plugin. In src/juniper_plugin/fastnetmon_juniper.php, the $IP_ATTACK variable (received from argv[1]) is directly interpolated into Juniper NETCONF set-configuration commands at lines 69 and 90 without any validation or sanitization. Line 69: $conn->load_set_configuration("set routing-options static route {$IP_ATTACK} community 65535:666 discard"). Line 90: $conn->load_set_configuration("delete routing-options static route {$IP_ATTACK}/32"). An attacker who can control the IP address string can inject additional Juniper CLI configuration commands by embedding newline characters followed by arbitrary set/delete commands. This could modify the router's routing table, firewall filters, user accounts, or any other configuration element accessible via NETCONF. The impact is full router compromise.

Twenty is an open source CRM. From 1.7.7 through 1.16.7, a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in Twenty CRM via a chained SQL Injection and PostgreSQL COPY TO PROGRAM attack. If Postgres user is a super user then any authenticated user can execute arbitrary OS commands on the database server by injecting SQL through the unsanitized timeZone parameter in the REST API groupBy endpoint. The timeZone field within the group_by query parameter is directly interpolated into a raw SQL expression using JavaScript template literals without any parameterization, validation, or escaping. This affects engine/api/graphql/graphql-query-runner/group-by/resolvers/utils/get-group-by-expression.util.ts.

A vulnerability was determined in haojing8312 WorkClaw up to 0.6.4. This affects the function is_dangerous of the file apps/runtime/src-tauri/src/agent/tools/bash.rs of the component Blacklist Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to os command injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

Vowpal Wabbit is a machine learning system. The workflow .github/workflows/python_checks.yml embeds ${{ github.event.pull_request.title }} directly inside double-quoted bash strings in four separate steps across four jobs, each passing it as a CLI argument to the Python test script run_tests_model_gen_and_load.py. The shell interprets the expanded string before invoking Python, allowing an attacker to break out of the quotes and execute arbitrary commands on the runner. The pull_request trigger fires on PRs targeting any branch (branches: ['*']), with no additional access gate. This vulnerability is fixed by the 998e390e80a7e8192d7849b7784bc113dbd190ad commit.

FastNetMon Community Edition through 1.2.9 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the Juniper router integration plugin. The _log() function in src/juniper_plugin/fastnetmon_juniper.php (lines 117-118) constructs shell commands by concatenating the $msg parameter directly into exec() calls: exec("echo `date` \"- {FASTNETMON] - " . $msg . " \" >> " . $FILE_LOG_TMP). The $msg variable contains unsanitized data derived from command-line arguments argv[1] through argv[3], which represent the attack IP address, direction, and power. While FastNetMon's C++ core currently passes IP addresses via inet_ntoa() (which only produces safe dotted-decimal notation), the PHP script performs no input validation or shell escaping. If the script is invoked directly, by another orchestration system, or if future code changes pass string-sourced IPs, arbitrary commands can be injected. The correct fix is to replace exec() with file_put_contents() or use escapeshellarg() on all parameters.

A flaw was found in the Samba printing subsystem. Samba passes the client-controlled job description string to the command configured with the "print command" setting via the "%J" substitution character without escaping shell meta characters. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted print job description that contains unescaped shell characters. This could lead to remote code execution on the affected system.
