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 data from the 'event' object is being passed directly to OS process-spawning functions (like os.spawn* or os.startfile). This allows untrusted input to dictate system commands, creating a serious security risk.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands on the server, potentially leading to data theft, service disruption, or full system compromise. This can result in loss of sensitive information, unauthorized access, and severe reputational and operational damage.
