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

Description

User-controlled input from an event object is being passed directly to an asyncio subprocess shell function. This allows untrusted data to be executed as part of a system command, creating a command injection risk.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could run arbitrary system commands on the server, potentially accessing sensitive data, modifying files, or taking control of the application environment. This can lead to data breaches, service disruption, or full system compromise.
