CWE CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
OWASP A03:2021 - Injection
Confidence Level Low
Impact Level High
Likelihood Level Low

Description

The code runs system commands using dynamic or user-controlled input with exec.Command or exec.CommandContext, instead of hardcoded commands. This exposes the application to code injection risks if untrusted data can reach these calls.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary system commands on your server, leading to data theft, system compromise, or full remote control of the application environment. This can result in data loss, service disruption, and severe security breaches.
