Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA and Red Hat. Impact type from CWE-78.

Summary

Thor before 1.4.0 can construct an unsafe shell command from library input. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because "the method that was fixed can only be used with arguments that are controlled by Thor, and there is no way an attacker can take control of those arguments."
