Description

The code is executing operating system commands using dynamic or external input. If user-controlled data reaches these process-spawning functions, an attacker could inject and run arbitrary commands.

Impact

An attacker could execute unauthorized commands on the server, potentially leading to data theft, service disruption, or complete system compromise. This puts sensitive data, application integrity, and server resources at serious risk.
