CWE-78
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
Description
The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component.

| CVE-2025-53623 | Hig | 0.46 | — | 0.01 | Jul 14, 2025 | The Job Iteration API is an an extension for ActiveJob that make jobs interruptible and resumable Versions prior to 1.11.0 have an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in the `CsvEnumerator` class. This vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system where the application is running, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data leakage, or complete system compromise. The issue is fixed in versions `1.11.0` and above. Users can mitigate the risk by avoiding the use of untrusted input in the `CsvEnumerator` class and ensuring that any file paths are properly sanitized and validated before being passed to the class methods. Users should avoid using the `count_of_rows_in_file` method with untrusted CSV filenames. | |
| CVE-2025-0127 | Hig | 0.46 | — | 0.00 | Apr 11, 2025 | A command injection vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® software enables an authenticated administrator to bypass system restrictions and run arbitrary commands as a root user. This issue is only applicable to PAN-OS VM-Series. This issue does not affect firewalls that are already deployed. Cloud NGFW and Prisma® Access are not affected by this vulnerability. | |
| CVE-2024-41956 | Hig | 0.46 | 8.1 | 0.00 | Aug 1, 2024 | Soft Serve is a self-hostable Git server for the command line. Prior to 0.7.5, it is possible for a user who can commit files to a repository hosted by Soft Serve to execute arbitrary code via environment manipulation and Git. The issue is that Soft Serve passes all environment variables given by the client to git subprocesses. This includes environment variables that control program execution, such as LD_PRELOAD. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.7.5. | |
| CVE-2024-26258 | Hig | 0.46 | 7.1 | 0.00 | Apr 4, 2024 | OS command injection vulnerability in ELECOM wireless LAN routers allows a network-adjacent attacker with credentials to execute arbitrary OS commands by sending a specially crafted request to the product. | |
| CVE-2017-12581 | Hig | 0.46 | 8.1 | 0.02 | Aug 6, 2017 | GitHub Electron before 1.6.8 allows remote command execution because of a nodeIntegration bypass vulnerability. This also affects all applications that bundle Electron code equivalent to 1.6.8 or earlier. Bypassing the Same Origin Policy (SOP) is a precondition; however, recent Electron versions do not have strict SOP enforcement. Combining an SOP bypass with a privileged URL internally used by Electron, it was possible to execute native Node.js primitives in order to run OS commands on the user's host. Specifically, a chrome-devtools://devtools/bundled/inspector.html window could be used to eval a Node.js child_process.execFile API call. | |

| CVE-2026-43943 | Hig | 0.44 | 7.8 | 0.00 | May 8, 2026 | electerm is an open-sourced terminal/ssh/sftp/telnet/serialport/RDP/VNC/Spice/ftp client. Prior to version 3.7.9, a code execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in electerm's SFTP open with system editor or "Edit with custom editor" feature. When a user opts to edit a file using open with system editor or open with a custom editor, the filename is passed directly into a command line without sanitization. A malicious actor controlling the SSH server or user OS can exploit this by crafting a filename containing shell metacharacters. If a victim subsequently attempts to edit this file, the injected commands are executed on their machine with the user's privileges. This could allow the attacker to run arbitrary code, install malware, or move laterally within the network. This issue has been patched in version 3.7.9. | |
