2 techniques across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | Full system compromise — the attacker can execute any command with the privileges of the vulnerable application process. With a CVSS score of 6.8 (MEDIUM), this represents a moderate risk. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker injects shell metacharacters (;, |, &&) into a parameter that is passed to a system command, causing additional commands to be executed. |

RemediationAI
Avoid passing user input to system commands. Use language-specific APIs instead of shell commands. If unavoidable, use strict input validation and escaping.
