|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2016-9091 | Hig | 0.53 | 7.2 | 0.37 | Apr 5, 2017 | Blue Coat Advanced Secure Gateway (ASG) 6.6 before 6.6.5.4 and Content Analysis System (CAS) 1.3 before 1.3.7.4 are susceptible to an OS command injection vulnerability. An authenticated malicious administrator can execute arbitrary OS commands with elevated system privileges. | |
| CVE-2016-1482 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.01 | Sep 17, 2016 | Cisco WebEx Meetings Server 2.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by injecting these commands into an application script, aka Bug ID CSCuy83130. | |
| CVE-2026-4802 | Hig | 0.52 | 8.0 | 0.00 | May 11, 2026 | A flaw was found in Cockpit. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to achieve arbitrary command execution on the host by exploiting unsanitized user-controlled parameters within crafted links in the system logs user interface (UI). An attacker can inject shell metacharacters and command substitutions into these parameters, leading to the execution of arbitrary shell commands on the affected system. This could result in a complete system compromise. | |
| CVE-2026-32892 | Cri | 0.52 | 9.1 | 0.00 | Apr 10, 2026 | Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3, Chamilo LMS contains an OS Command Injection vulnerability in the file move function. The move() function in fileManage.lib.php passes user-controlled path values directly into exec() shell commands without using escapeshellarg(). When a user moves a document via document.php, the move_to POST parameter — which only passes through Security::remove_XSS() (an HTML-only filter) — is concatenated directly into shell commands such as exec("mv $source $target"). By default, Chamilo allows all authenticated users to create courses (allow_users_to_create_courses = true). Any user who is a teacher in a course (including self-created courses) can move documents, making this vulnerability exploitable by any authenticated user. The attacker must first place a directory with shell metacharacters in its name on the filesystem (achievable via Course Backup Import), then move a document into that directory to trigger arbitrary command execution as the web server user (www-data). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.38 and 2.0.0-RC.3. | |

| CVE-2025-58059 | Cri | 0.52 | 9.1 | 0.00 | Aug 28, 2025 | Valtimo is a platform for Business Process Automation. In versions before 12.16.0.RELEASE, and from 13.0.0.RELEASE to before 13.1.2.RELEASE, any admin that can create or modify and execute process-definitions could gain access to sensitive data or resources. This includes but is not limited to: running executables on the application host, inspecting and extracting data from the host environment or application properties, spring beans (application context, database pooling). The following conditions have to be met in order to perform this attack: the user must be logged in, have the admin role, and must have some knowledge about running scripts via a the Camunda/Operator engine. Version 12.16.0 and 13.1.2 have been patched. It is strongly advised to upgrade. If no scripting is needed in any of the processes, it could be possible to disable it altogether via the ProcessEngineConfiguration. However, this workaround could lead to unexpected side-effects. | |
| CVE-2025-54430 | Cri | 0.52 | 9.1 | 0.00 | Jul 30, 2025 | dedupe is a python library that uses machine learning to perform fuzzy matching, deduplication and entity resolution quickly on structured data.
