User description

Type Identifier Message Severity Link
Application
CWE-78
This vulnerability is critical because it improperly handles user input by passing insecure command strings to the Runtime.exec method without proper sanitization or validation. As a result, an attacker could exploit this issue to conduct command injection, potentially altering the execution environment or escalating privileges. The risk is amplified if the environment variables involved influence the execution flow, making the attack more potent and system-compromising. Immediate remediation is required to implement robust input validation and proper sanitization measures.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Prevent command injection from user input used in OS command environment

What Changed

  • The value taken from the request and previously passed directly into the OS process environment is now sanitized before process execution, removing characters that could be used for command injection.
  • A sanitizer limits the environment value to letters, numbers, underscore, dash, and dot; benign inputs composed of those characters continue to be allowed.
  • The servlet still runs the same OS command and returns encoded error messages, but the environment passed to the process is now restricted to safe characters.

Impact

✅ Prevents command injection from request parameters used as process environment
✅ Lower risk of remote command execution from crafted input
✅ Fewer critical CWE-78 security findings
