CVE-2025-34116Hig0.66—0.76Jul 15, 2025A remote command execution vulnerability exists in IPFire before version 2.19 Core Update 101 via the 'proxy.cgi' CGI interface. An authenticated attacker can inject arbitrary shell commands through crafted values in the NCSA user creation form fields, leading to command execution with web server privileges.
CVE-2025-34030Cri0.66—0.09Jun 20, 2025An OS command injection vulnerability exists in sar2html version 3.2.2 and prior via the plot parameter in index.php. The application fails to sanitize user-supplied input before using it in a system-level context. Remote, unauthenticated attackers can inject shell commands by appending them to the plot parameter (e.g., ?plot=;id) in a crafted GET request. The output of the command is displayed in the application's interface after interacting with the host selection UI. Successful exploitation leads to arbitrary command execution on the underlying system. Exploitation evidence was observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2025-02-04 UTC.
CVE-2021-47667Cri0.6610.00.09Apr 5, 2025An OS command injection vulnerability in lib/NSSDropoff.php in ZendTo 5.24-3 through 6.x before 6.10-7 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the tmp_name parameter when dropping off a file via a POST /dropoff request.
CVE-2024-27172Cri0.669.80.31Jun 14, 2024Remote Command program allows an attacker to get Remote Code Execution. As for the affected products/models/versions, see the reference URL.
CVE-2017-5255Hig0.668.80.71Dec 20, 2017In version 3.5 and prior of Cambium Networks ePMP firmware, a lack of input sanitation for certain parameters on the web management console allows any authenticated user (including the otherwise low-privilege readonly user) to inject shell meta-characters as part of a specially-crafted POST request to the get_chart function and run OS-level commands, effectively as root.
CVE-2017-14100Cri0.669.80.34Sep 2, 2017In Asterisk 11.x before 11.25.2, 13.x before 13.17.1, and 14.x before 14.6.1 and Certified Asterisk 11.x before 11.6-cert17 and 13.x before 13.13-cert5, unauthorized command execution is possible. The app_minivm module has an "externnotify" program configuration option that is executed by the MinivmNotify dialplan application. The application uses the caller-id name and number as part of a built string passed to the OS shell for interpretation and execution. Since the caller-id name and number can come from an untrusted source, a crafted caller-id name or number allows an arbitrary shell command injection.
CVE-2017-9757Hig0.668.80.78Jun 19, 2017IPFire 2.19 has a Remote Command Injection vulnerability in ids.cgi via the OINKCODE parameter, which is mishandled by a shell. This can be exploited directly by authenticated users, or through CSRF.
CVE-2026-41553Cri0.65—0.00May 15, 2026PDF Export Module used in DHTMLX's products Gantt and Scheduler is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution due to lack of "data" parameter sanitization. An unauthenticated attacker can inject the malicious JavaScript code to the parameter whose value is processed by Node.js and subsequently executed. This can lead to server compromise. This issue was fixed in PDF Export Module version 0.7.6.
CVE-2024-51092Cri0.659.10.39May 8, 2026LibreNMS before 24.10.0 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via OS command injection involving AboutController.php's index(), SettingsController.php's update(), and PollDevice.php's initRrdDirectory().
CVE-2026-30302Cri0.6510.00.00Mar 27, 2026The command auto-approval module in CodeRider-Kilo contains an OS Command Injection vulnerability, rendering its whitelist security mechanism ineffective. The vulnerability stems from the incorrect use of an incompatible command parser (the Unix-based shell-quote library) to analyze commands on the Windows platform, coupled with a failure to correctly handle Windows CMD-specific escape sequences (^). Attackers can exploit this discrepancy between the parsing logic and the execution environment by constructing payloads such as git log ^" & malicious_command ^". The CodeRider-Kilo parser is deceived by the escape characters, misinterpreting the malicious command connector (&) as being within a protected string argument and thus auto-approving the command. However, the underlying Windows CMD interpreter ignores the escaped quotes, parsing and executing the subsequent malicious command directly. This allows attackers to achieve arbitrary Remote Code Execution (RCE) after bypassing what appears to be a legitimate Git whitelist check.
CVE-2021-35402Cri0.6510.00.00Feb 20, 2026PROLiNK PRC2402M 20190909 before 2021-06-13 allows live_api.cgi?page=satellite_list OS command injection via shell metacharacters in the ip parameter (for satellite_status).
CVE-2020-37123Cri0.659.80.16Feb 5, 2026Pinger 1.0 contains a remote code execution vulnerability that allows attackers to inject shell commands through the ping and socket parameters. Attackers can exploit the unsanitized input in ping.php to write arbitrary PHP files and execute system commands by appending shell metacharacters.
CVE-2025-10230Cri0.6510.00.00Nov 7, 2025A flaw was found in Samba, in the front-end WINS hook handling: NetBIOS names from registration packets are passed to a shell without proper validation or escaping. Unsanitized NetBIOS name data from WINS registration packets are inserted into a shell command and executed by the Samba Active Directory Domain Controller’s wins hook, allowing an unauthenticated network attacker to achieve remote command execution as the Samba process.
CVE-2018-25118Cri0.65—0.01Oct 20, 2025GeoVision embedded IP devices, confirmed on GV-BX1500 and GV-MFD1501, contain a remote command injection vulnerability via /PictureCatch.cgi that enables an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the device.
