DescriptionNVD

OS Command Injection vulnerability in the process_string action of Rapid7 InsightConnect AWK Plugin on Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via the text or expression parameters due to unsafe shell command construction in the processing pipeline.

AnalysisAI

Remote OS command injection in Rapid7's InsightConnect AWK Plugin (versions below 1.2.2 on Linux) lets attackers run arbitrary operating-system commands through the process_string action's text or expression parameters, which are unsafely concatenated into a shell command. The CVSS 9.8 rating reflects full confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss with no privileges or user interaction required by the vector. …
