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

Description

User input is being directly included in system command execution (like Runtime.exec or ProcessBuilder) without proper validation or separation. This allows attackers to inject malicious commands that the server will run.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could execute arbitrary commands on your server, leading to data theft, system compromise, malware installation, or complete loss of control over the application and underlying infrastructure.
