Technical details

An OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) exists in the TR action of the Rapid7 InsightConnect Translate Plugin on Linux. The root cause is insufficient input sanitization of the 'text' or 'expression' parameters during the construction of shell commands. A remote attacker can exploit this by submitting malicious strings that break out of the intended command context to execute arbitrary OS commands. While the attack vector is network-based and requires no privileges, the CVSS assessment indicates high complexity (AC:H). The vulnerability is addressed in version 2.0.3 of the plugin.
