Technical details

The vulnerability exists in web/reNgine/tasks.py (fetch_url and dir_file_fuzz functions) where custom_headers values are concatenated directly into shell commands without sanitization. An authenticated attacker can inject shell metacharacters via the custom_headers scan configuration field to escape quotes and execute arbitrary OS commands. The injected commands run as root within the Celery worker container.
