DescriptionNVD

@pensar/apex <= 0.0.58 is vulnerable to OS command injection via the smart_enumerate tool. The createSmartEnumerateTool() function in src/core/agent/tools.ts constructs a shell command by concatenating unsanitized values from the extensions array and url parameter into a string passed to Node.js child_process.exec(). Because exec() spawns a shell, shell metacharacters in those values are interpreted by the host shell, resulting in arbitrary OS command execution with the privileges of the running process.

AnalysisAI

OS command injection in the @pensar/apex Node.js agent package (versions 0.0.58 and earlier) lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker run arbitrary operating-system commands by smuggling shell metacharacters into the smart_enumerate tool's url or extensions inputs. The vulnerable createSmartEnumerateTool() routine in src/core/agent/tools.ts builds a shell command string by concatenating those untrusted values and passes it to Node.js child_process.exec(), which spawns a shell that interprets the injected characters, executing them with the privileges of the agent process. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Conduct a complete inventory of systems and applications using @pensar/apex version 0.0.58 or earlier, and identify which are exposed to untrusted network input. Within 7 days: Determine remediation approach-either upgrade to a patched version of @pensar/apex (if released), migrate to an alternative agent package, or restrict network access to agent endpoints through segmentation and firewall rules. …
