Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) OS Command Injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU74543
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20121
CWE-ID:
CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the restricted shell. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
