Technical details

An OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) exists in the 'My Computer' application of Pardus OS due to improper neutralization of special elements used in system commands. The vulnerability is reachable over the network and requires minimal user interaction (UI:R), allowing an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands with the privileges of the application. This can lead to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The issue affects versions up to and including 0.7.5 and is fixed in version 0.8.0.
