AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Authenticated plugin operator (PR:L) supplies parameters over the network (AV:N) with low complexity and no interaction; command injection yields full host compromise (C:H/I:H/A:H).
Primary rating from Vendor (rapid7).

OS Command Injection vulnerability in Rapid7 InsightConnect Tcpdump Plugin on Linux allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via the options or filter parameters due to insufficient input sanitization in shell command construction.
AnalysisAI
OS command injection in Rapid7's InsightConnect Tcpdump Plugin (versions before 2.0.0) on Linux lets an authenticated attacker run arbitrary operating-system commands by injecting shell metacharacters into the 'options' or 'filter' parameters, which are unsafely concatenated into a tcpdump shell invocation. An attacker holding low-privileged access to a SOAR workflow that uses this plugin can fully compromise the orchestrator host (high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact). …
