Technical details

The vulnerability is a command injection flaw in the execution-workspaces API endpoint. An authenticated attacker with a valid API key can modify the cleanupCommand and teardownCommand fields via PATCH /api/execution-workspaces/:id; these commands are later executed unsanitized through a shell by the cleanupExecutionWorkspaceArtifacts process when the workspace is archived, allowing arbitrary code execution in the security context of the Paperclip server.
