Tainted command injection
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 user input, and use safe methods for executing the commands. In PHP, it is possible to use escapeshellcmd(...) and escapeshellarg(...) to correctly sanitize input that is used respectively as system commands or command arguments.
