    Command-injection-path

    Command injection path

    Untrusted input might be injected into a command executed by the application, which can lead to a command injection vulnerability. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands, potentially gaining complete control of the system. To prevent this vulnerability, avoid executing OS commands with user input. If this is unavoidable, validate and sanitize the input, and use safe methods for executing the commands.
    Likelihood: MEDIUM
    Confidence: MEDIUM
    CWE:
    - CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command (‘OS Command Injection’)
    OWASP:
    - A01:2017 - Injection
    - A03:2021 - Injection
