CWE	CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
OWASP	A01:2017 - Injection
Confidence Level	Low
Impact Level	High
Likelihood Level	Low

Description

The code executes commands on a remote server using Paramiko's exec_command without properly validating or sanitizing the input. This can allow attackers to inject malicious commands if user input is passed directly to exec_command.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands on the remote system with the SSH user's privileges, leading to data theft, system compromise, or disruption of services. This can result in loss of sensitive data, unauthorized access, and potential full system takeover.
