OWASP A01:2017 - Injection
Confidence Level Low
Impact Level High
Likelihood Level Low

Description

The code builds and runs operating system commands using input that comes from external sources, without properly checking or sanitizing that input. This allows attackers to inject malicious commands that the system will execute.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands on the server, potentially gaining full control over the system, accessing sensitive data, modifying files, or disrupting application functionality. This can lead to severe breaches, data loss, or complete system compromise.
