CVE-2026-34114: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in guardian language-system
Guardian language-system passes the id GET parameter directly into a PHP exec() call in translate_text.php (line 18) without sanitization: exec(\"php jobs/translate_text.php \".$login_session.\" \".$_GET['id'].\" ...\"). No authentication is required. An unauthenticated remote attacker can append shell metacharacters to execute arbitrary OS commands on the server.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The guardian language-system contains an OS command injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-34114) due to improper neutralization of special elements in the id GET parameter. Specifically, translate_text.php line 18 calls exec() with the id parameter directly concatenated without sanitization: exec("php jobs/translate_text.php " . $login_session . " " . $_GET['id'] . " ..."). This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to append shell metacharacters and execute arbitrary operating system commands on the server. The vulnerability is publicly known and assigned a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.3 (critical). No patch or official remediation guidance is currently available, and the product is not a cloud service.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands on the server hosting the guardian language-system. This can lead to full system compromise, data theft, service disruption, or further attacks. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability with high severity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, it is recommended to implement input validation and sanitization on the id parameter to prevent injection of shell metacharacters. Restricting access to the vulnerable script and disabling exec() calls if possible may reduce risk. Monitor vendor channels for official patches or updates.
