User description

Type Identifier Message Severity Link
Application
CWE-78
The code segment uses an insecure method to retrieve and execute an OS command without validating untrusted input. This leads to an environment vulnerability that an attacker can exploit to perform arbitrary command execution. The failure to sanitize the environment variable along with the direct execution using Runtime.exec() magnifies the risk and necessitates immediate fixes.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Sanitize request-derived environment variable to prevent OS command injection

What Changed

  • The value taken from the request is now stripped of unsafe characters before being used as an environment variable for an OS command.
  • Only letters, numbers, underscore, dash and period are allowed; unexpected or special characters are removed and null input becomes an empty string.
  • Attempts to include shell metacharacters or other injection payloads in the request parameter will no longer reach the executed command; command failure handling remains encoded and unchanged.

Impact

✅ Prevents command injection via request parameters
✅ Lower risk of remote code execution for this endpoint
✅ Rejects unsafe characters from environment inputs
