Description

Code Injection in paddlepaddle

The vulnerability arises from the way the url parameter is incorporated into the command string without proper validation or sanitization. If the url is constructed from untrusted sources, an attacker could potentially inject malicious commands.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability high.
