Summary

OpenSpug Spug up to 3.4.0/4.0.1 contains an OS command injection flaw (CWE-78) in the File Transfer component. The /exec/transfer endpoint does not neutralize special elements in manipulated input, so attacker-controlled text reaches an operating system command. A remote attacker with low privileges can execute commands without user interaction. A public exploit has been published, and the vendor did not respond to early disclosure contact.
