| CVE-2013-10058 | Hig | 0.63 | — | 0.51 | Aug 1, 2025 | An authenticated OS command injection vulnerability exists in various Linksys router models (tested on WRT160Nv2) running firmware version v2.0.03 via the apply.cgi endpoint. The web interface fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input passed to the ping_size parameter during diagnostic operations. An attacker with valid credentials can inject arbitrary shell commands, enabling remote code execution. | |
| CVE-2017-16921 | Hig | 0.63 | 8.8 | 0.34 | Dec 8, 2017 | In OTRS 6.0.x up to and including 6.0.1, OTRS 5.0.x up to and including 5.0.24, and OTRS 4.0.x up to and including 4.0.26, an attacker who is logged into OTRS as an agent can manipulate form parameters (related to PGP) and execute arbitrary shell commands with the permissions of the OTRS or web server user. | |
| CVE-2015-2280 | Hig | 0.63 | 8.8 | 0.33 | Jul 25, 2017 | snwrite.cgi in AirLink101 SkyIPCam1620W Wireless N MPEG4 3GPP network camera with firmware FW_AIC1620W_1.1.0-12_20120709_r1192.pck allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary OS commands via shell metacharacters in the mac parameter. | |
| CVE-2026-40088 | Cri | 0.62 | 9.6 | 0.00 | Apr 9, 2026 | PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 4.5.121, the execute_command function and workflow shell execution are exposed to user-controlled input via agent workflows, YAML definitions, and LLM-generated tool calls, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary shell commands through shell metacharacters. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.5.121. | |
| CVE-2025-50121 | Cri | 0.62 | — | 0.03 | Jul 11, 2025 | A CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability exists that could cause unauthenticated remote code execution when a malicious folder is created over the web interface HTTP when enabled. HTTP is disabled by default. | |
| CVE-2017-15049 | Hig | 0.62 | 8.8 | 0.17 | Dec 19, 2017 | The ZoomLauncher binary in the Zoom client for Linux before 2.0.115900.1201 does not properly sanitize user input when constructing a shell command, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging the zoommtg:// scheme handler. | |
| CVE-2017-17055 | Cri | 0.62 | 9.0 | 0.04 | Dec 7, 2017 | Artica Web Proxy before 3.06.112911 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as root by conducting a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack involving the username-form-id parameter to freeradius.users.php. | |
| CVE-2017-6320 | Hig | 0.62 | 8.8 | 0.29 | Jul 18, 2017 | A remote command injection vulnerability exists in the Barracuda Load Balancer product line (confirmed on v5.4.0.004 (2015-11-26) and v6.0.1.006 (2016-08-19); fixed in 6.1.0.003 (2017-01-17)) in which an authenticated user can execute arbitrary shell commands and gain root privileges. The vulnerability stems from unsanitized data being processed in a system call when the delete_assessment command is issued. | |
| CVE-2015-7611 | Hig | 0.62 | 8.1 | 0.75 | Jun 7, 2016 | Apache James Server 2.3.2, when configured with file-based user repositories, allows attackers to execute arbitrary system commands via unspecified vectors. | |
| CVE-2026-45035 | Cri | 0.61 | — | 0.00 | May 15, 2026 | Tabby (formerly Terminus) is a highly configurable terminal emulator. Prior to 1.0.233, Tabby registers itself as the handler for the tabby:// URL scheme on all platforms. The URL scheme handler supports a run command that directly executes OS commands with no user confirmation, sanitization, or sandboxing. An attacker can craft a malicious link (tabby://run?command=...) and deliver it via a website, email, chat message, or any other medium. When a victim clicks the link, the OS launches Tabby which immediately spawns the specified command as a child process with the user's full privileges. This is a zero-click-after-link-visit RCE vulnerability. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.0.233. | |
| CVE-2026-41925 | Cri | 0.61 | — | 0.01 | May 4, 2026 | WDR201A WiFi Extender (HW V2.1, FW LFMZX28040922V1.02) contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the adm.cgi binary's reboot_time function that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands by injecting malicious input into the reboot_time POST parameter. Attackers can send a crafted request with shell metacharacters in the reboot_time parameter when reboot_enabled=1 to achieve remote code execution. | |
| CVE-2026-41923 | Cri | 0.61 | — | 0.01 | May 4, 2026 | WDR201A WiFi Extender (HW V2.1, FW LFMZX28040922V1.02) contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the internet.cgi binary that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands by injecting malicious input into the gateway POST parameter. Attackers can exploit unsanitized parameter concatenation in the set_add_routing function to inject shell commands that are executed via popen() with partial output reflected in the HTTP response. | |
| CVE-2026-41922 | Cri | 0.61 | — | 0.01 | May 4, 2026 | WDR201A WiFi Extender (HW V2.1, FW LFMZX28040922V1.02) contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the wireless.cgi binary that allow unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands by injecting malicious input into the sz11gChannel or PIN POST parameters. Attackers can exploit unsanitized parameter handling in the set_wifi_basic and set_wifi_do_wps functions to achieve remote code execution without authentication. | |
| CVE-2026-21571 | Cri | 0.61 | — | 0.01 | Apr 21, 2026 | This Critical severity OS Command Injection vulnerability was introduced in versions 9.6.0, 10.0.0, 10.1.0, 10.2.0, 11.0.0, 11.1.0, 12.0.0, and 12.1.0 of Bamboo Data Center. This RCE (Remote Code Execution) vulnerability, with a CVSS Score of 9.4 and a CVSS Vector of CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H allows an authenticated attacker to execute commands on the remote system, which has high impact to confidentiality, high impact to integrity, high impact to availability, and requires no user interaction. Atlassian recommends that Bamboo Data Center customers upgrade to latest version, if you are unable to do so, upgrade your instance to one of the specified supported fixed versions: Bamboo Data Center 9.6.0: Upgrade to a release greater than or equal to 9.6.25 Bamboo Data Center 10.2: Upgrade to a release greater than or equal to 10.2.18 Bamboo Data Center 12.1: Upgrade to a release greater than or equal to 12.1.6 See the release notes ([https://confluence.atlassian.com/bambooreleases/bamboo-release-notes-1189793869.html]).

| CVE-2023-7304 | Cri | 0.61 | — | 0.03 | Oct 15, 2025 | Ruijie RG-UAC Application Management Gateway contains a command injection vulnerability via the 'nmc_sync.php' interface. An unauthenticated attacker able to reach the affected endpoint can inject shell commands via crafted request data, causing the application to execute arbitrary commands on the host. Successful exploitation can yield full control of the application process and may lead to system-level access depending on the service privileges. VulnCheck has observed this vulnerability being targeted by the RondoDox botnet campaign. | |
