DescriptionCVE.org

Guardian language-system passes the id GET parameter directly into a PHP exec() call in speech.php (line 18) without sanitization: exec(\"php jobs/speech_audio.php \".$login_session.\" \".$_GET['id'].\" ...\"). No authentication is required. An unauthenticated remote attacker can append shell metacharacters to execute arbitrary OS commands on the server.

AnalysisAI

OS command injection in the Guardian language-system lets an unauthenticated remote attacker run arbitrary shell commands by injecting metacharacters into the 'id' GET parameter, which speech.php passes unsanitized into a PHP exec() call. Rated CVSS 4.0 9.3 (Critical) with a fully remote, no-privilege, no-interaction vector, this is a direct pre-auth RCE. No CISA KEV listing or EPSS score is present in the provided data, and no confirmed public exploit is identified, though a referenced GitHub gist and a VulnCheck advisory document the flaw.

Technical ContextAI

The affected component is a PHP web application ('Guardian language-system') that provides text-to-speech job handling. In speech.php line 18, the code builds a shell command string - exec("php jobs/speech_audio.php ".$login_session." ".$_GET['id']." ...") - by concatenating the attacker-controlled 'id' request parameter directly into the command line with no escaping or validation. This is a textbook CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command). Because PHP's exec() invokes the system shell (/bin/sh), any shell metacharacter in 'id' (;, |, &&, backticks, $() ) breaks out of the intended 'php jobs/speech_audio.php ...' invocation and runs attacker commands in the context of the web server user. No CPE strings were supplied, so exact affected version identifiers cannot be enumerated from the input.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version is identified at time of analysis, so no fixed version can be cited. The correct code-level fix is to stop passing user input into a shell: replace the exec() concatenation in speech.php with a call that avoids the shell and passes 'id' as a separate, validated argument (e.g. escapeshellarg() on the value, or better, strict input validation restricting 'id' to an integer/whitelist), since the parameter is evidently intended to be a numeric job identifier. As an immediate compensating control, restrict or block network access to the speech.php endpoint at the reverse proxy or WAF and reject any 'id' value containing non-numeric or shell metacharacters (; | & ` $ ( ) newline) - the trade-off is that legitimate non-integer identifiers, if any, would break, so validate the expected format first. If the feature is non-essential, disable the speech/audio job route entirely until a fix is deployed. Consult the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/guardian-language-system-unauthenticated-os-command-injection-via-id-parameter-in-speech-php) for vendor guidance and monitor for a released patched version.
