| CVE-2024-7954 | Cri | 0.74 | 9.8 | 0.93 | Aug 23, 2024 | The porte_plume plugin used by SPIP before 4.30-alpha2, 4.2.13, and 4.1.16 is vulnerable to an arbitrary code execution vulnerability. A remote and unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary PHP as the SPIP user by sending a crafted HTTP request. | |
| CVE-2013-10070 | Cri | 0.73 | — | 0.63 | Aug 5, 2025 | PHP-Charts v1.0 contains a PHP code execution vulnerability in wizard/url.php, where user-supplied GET parameter names are passed directly to eval() without sanitization. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw by crafting a request that injects arbitrary PHP code, resulting in command execution under the web server's context. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to execute system-level commands via base64-encoded payloads embedded in parameter names, leading to full compromise of the host system. | |
| CVE-2026-28505 | Cri | 0.65 | 10.0 | 0.00 | Mar 30, 2026 | Tautulli is a Python based monitoring and tracking tool for Plex Media Server. Prior to version 2.17.0, the str_eval() function in notification_handler.py implements a sandboxed eval() for notification text templates. The sandbox attempts to restrict callable names by inspecting code.co_names of the compiled code object. However, co_names only contains names from the outer code object. When a lambda expression is used, it creates a nested code object whose attribute accesses are stored in code.co_consts, NOT in code.co_names. The sandbox never inspects nested code objects. This issue has been patched in version 2.17.0. | |
| CVE-2025-0868 | Cri | 0.65 | — | 0.16 | Feb 20, 2025 | A vulnerability, that could result in Remote Code Execution (RCE), has been found in DocsGPT. Due to improper parsing of JSON data using eval() an unauthorized attacker could send arbitrary Python code to be executed via /api/remote endpoint.. This issue affects DocsGPT: from 0.8.1 through 0.12.0. | |
| CVE-2026-4851 | Cri | 0.64 | 9.8 | 0.00 | Mar 29, 2026 | GRID::Machine versions through 0.127 for Perl allows arbitrary code execution via unsafe deserialization. GRID::Machine provides Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) over SSH for Perl. The client connects to remote hosts to execute code on them. A compromised or malicious remote host can execute arbitrary code back on the client through unsafe deserialization in the RPC protocol. read_operation() in lib/GRID/Machine/Message.pm deserialises values from the remote side using eval() $arg .= '$VAR1'; my $val = eval "no strict; $arg"; # line 40-41 $arg is raw bytes from the protocol pipe. A compromised remote host can embed arbitrary perl in the Dumper-formatted response: $VAR1 = do { system("..."); }; This executes on the client silently on every RPC call, as the return values remain correct. This functionality is by design but the trust requirement for the remote host is not documented in the distribution. | |
| CVE-2026-4001 | Cri | 0.64 | 9.8 | 0.00 | Mar 24, 2026 | The Woocommerce Custom Product Addons Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.1 via the custom pricing formula eval() in the process_custom_formula() function within includes/process/price.php. This is due to insufficient sanitization and validation of user-submitted field values before passing them to PHP's eval() function. The sanitize_values() method strips HTML tags but does not escape single quotes or prevent PHP code injection. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server by submitting a crafted value to a WCPA text field configured with custom pricing formula (pricingType: "custom" with {this.value}). | |
| CVE-2025-49013 | Cri | 0.64 | 9.9 | 0.02 | Jun 9, 2025 | WilderForge is a Wildermyth coremodding API. A critical vulnerability has been identified in multiple projects across the WilderForge organization. The issue arises from unsafe usage of `${{ github.event.review.body }}` and other user controlled variables directly inside shell script contexts in GitHub Actions workflows. This introduces a code injection vulnerability: a malicious actor submitting a crafted pull request review containing shell metacharacters or commands could execute arbitrary shell code on the GitHub Actions runner. This can lead to arbitrary command execution with the permissions of the workflow, potentially compromising CI infrastructure, secrets, and build outputs. Developers who maintain or contribute to the repos WilderForge/WilderForge, WilderForge/ExampleMod, WilderForge/WilderWorkspace, WilderForge/WildermythGameProvider, WilderForge/AutoSplitter, WilderForge/SpASM, WilderForge/thrixlvault, WilderForge/MassHash, and/or WilderForge/DLC_Disabler; as well as users who fork any of the above repositories and reuse affected GitHub Actions workflows, are affected. End users of any the above software and users who only install pre-built releases or artifacts are not affected. This vulnerability does not impact runtime behavior of the software or compiled outputs unless those outputs were produced during exploitation of this vulnerability. A current workaround is to disable GitHub Actions in affected repositories, or remove the affected workflows. | |
| CVE-2024-39173 | Cri | 0.64 | 9.8 | 0.03 | Jul 18, 2024 | calculator-boilerplate v1.0 was discovered to contain a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability via the eval function at /routes/calculator.js. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted payload injected into the input field. | |
| CVE-2024-36404 | Cri | 0.64 | 9.8 | 0.91 | Jul 2, 2024 | GeoTools is an open source Java library that provides tools for geospatial data. Prior to versions 31.2, 30.4, and 29.6, Remote Code Execution (RCE) is possible if an application uses certain GeoTools functionality to evaluate XPath expressions supplied by user input. Versions 31.2, 30.4, and 29.6 contain a fix for this issue. As a workaround, GeoTools can operate with reduced functionality by removing the `gt-complex` jar from one's application. As an example of the impact, application schema `datastore` would not function without the ability to use XPath expressions to query complex content. Alternatively, one may utilize a drop-in replacement GeoTools jar from SourceForge for versions 31.1, 30.3, 30.2, 29.2, 28.2, 27.5, 27.4, 26.7, 26.4, 25.2, and 24.0. These jars are for download only and are not available from maven central, intended to quickly provide a fix to affected applications. | |
| CVE-2024-8512 | Cri | 0.61 | 9.1 | 0.21 | Oct 30, 2024 | The W3SPEEDSTER plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 7.26 via the 'script' parameter of the hookBeforeStartOptimization() function. This is due to the plugin passing user supplied input to eval(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to execute code on the server. | |
| CVE-2025-12140 | Cri | 0.60 | — | 0.00 | Nov 27, 2025 | The application contains an insecure 'redirectToUrl' mechanism that incorrectly processes the value of the 'redirectUrlParameter' parameter. The application interprets the entered string of characters as a Java expression, allowing an unauthenticated attacer to perform arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed in version wu#2016.1.5513#0#20251014_113353 | |
| CVE-2011-10033 | Cri | 0.60 | — | 0.00 | Oct 15, 2025 | The WordPress plugin is-human <= v1.4.2 contains an eval injection vulnerability in /is-human/engine.php that can be triggered via the 'type' parameter when the 'action' parameter is set to 'log-reset'. The root cause is unsafe use of eval() on user-controlled input, which can lead to execution of attacker-supplied PHP and OS commands. This may result in arbitrary code execution as the webserver user, site compromise, or data exfiltration. The is-human plugin was made defunct in June 2008 and is no longer available for download. This vulnerability was exploited in the wild in March 2012. | |
| CVE-2025-68271 | Cri | 0.58 | 10.0 | 0.00 | Jan 13, 2026 | OpenC3 COSMOS provides the functionality needed to send commands to and receive data from one or more embedded systems. From 5.0.0 to 6.10.1, OpenC3 COSMOS contains a critical remote code execution vulnerability reachable through the JSON-RPC API. When a JSON-RPC request uses the string form of certain APIs, attacker-controlled parameter text is parsed into values using String#convert_to_value. For array-like inputs, convert_to_value executes eval(). Because the cmd code path parses the command string before calling authorize(), an unauthenticated attacker can trigger Ruby code execution even though the request ultimately fails authorization (401). This vulnerability is fixed in 6.10.2. | |
| CVE-2026-40316 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Apr 15, 2026 | OWASP BLT is a QA testing and vulnerability disclosure platform that encompasses websites, apps, git repositories, and more. Versions prior to 2.1.1 contain an RCE vulnerability in the .github/workflows/regenerate-migrations.yml workflow. The workflow uses the pull_request_target trigger to run with full GITHUB_TOKEN write permissions, copies attacker-controlled files from untrusted pull requests into the trusted runner workspace via git show, and then executes python manage.py makemigrations, which imports Django model modules including attacker-controlled website/models.py at runtime. Any module-level Python code in the attacker's models.py is executed during import, enabling arbitrary code execution in the privileged CI environment with access to GITHUB_TOKEN and repository secrets. The attack is triggerable by any external contributor who can open a pull request, provided a maintainer applies the regenerate-migrations label, potentially leading to secret exfiltration, repository compromise, and supply chain attacks. A patch for this issue is expected to be released in version 2.1.1. | |
| CVE-2026-35002 | Cri | 0.57 | 9.8 | 0.00 | Apr 2, 2026 | Agno versions prior to 2.3.24 contain an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in the model execution component that allows attackers to execute arbitrary Python code by manipulating the field_type parameter passed to eval(). Attackers can influence the field_type value in a FunctionCall to achieve remote code execution. | |
| CVE-2024-3562 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.01 | Jun 20, 2024 | The Custom Field Suite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Code Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.7 via the Loop custom field. This is due to insufficient sanitization of input prior to being used in a call to the eval() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server. | |
| CVE-2025-4318 | Cri | 0.55 | — | 0.00 | May 5, 2025 | The AWS Amplify Studio UI component property expressions in the aws-amplify/amplify-codegen-ui package lack input validation. This could potentially allow an authenticated user who has access to create or modify components to run arbitrary JavaScript code during the component rendering and build process. | |
| CVE-2025-8420 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.00 | Aug 6, 2025 | Multiple plugins for WordPress by emarket-design with the 'emd-form-builder-lite' package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in various versions via the emd_form_builder_lite_pagenum function. This is due to the plugin not properly validating user input before using it as a function name. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server, however, parameters can not be passed to the functions called | |
| CVE-2025-27603 | Cri | 0.52 | 9.1 | 0.00 | Mar 7, 2025 | XWiki Confluence Migrator Pro helps admins to import confluence packages into their XWiki instance. A user that doesn't have programming rights can execute arbitrary code due to an unescaped translation when creating a page using the Migration Page template. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.2.0. | |
| CVE-2026-33618 | Hig | 0.50 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Apr 10, 2026 | Chamilo LMS is a learning management system. Prior to .0.0-RC.3, the PlatformConfigurationController::decodeSettingArray() method uses PHP's eval() to parse platform settings from the database. An attacker with admin access (obtainable via Advisory 1) can inject arbitrary PHP code into the settings, which is then executed when any user (including unauthenticated) requests /platform-config/list. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.0.0-RC.3. |
