Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code ('Eval Injection')

Property Value
Language python
Severity high
CWE CWE-95: Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code ('Eval Injection')
OWASP A03:2021 - Injection
Confidence Level Medium
Impact Level High
Likelihood Level Medium

Description

User input is being passed directly into _xxsubinterpreters.run_string(), which executes the input as Python code. This allows attackers to inject and run arbitrary code on the server.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute any Python commands with the application's privileges, leading to data theft, system compromise, or complete server takeover. This could result in loss of sensitive data, service disruption, or further attacks on your infrastructure.
