CVE-2026-34977: CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in Zeecka AperiSolve
Aperi'Solve is an open-source steganalysis web platform. In versions 3.1.3 through 3.2.0, when uploading a JPEG, a user can specify an optional password to accompany the JPEG. This password is then directly passed into an expect command, which is then subsequently passed into a bash -c command, without any form of sanitization or validation. An unauthenticated attacker can achieve root-level RCE inside the worker container with a single HTTP request, enabling full read/write access to all user-uploaded images, analysis results, and plaintext steganography passwords stored on disk. Because the container shares a Docker network with PostgreSQL and Redis (no authentication on either), the attacker can pivot to dump the entire database or manipulate the job queue to poison results for other users. If Docker socket mounting or host volume mounts are present, this could escalate to full host compromise. This would also include defacement of the website itself. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.2.1.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-34977 is an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in Zeecka AperiSolve, an open-source steganalysis platform. In versions 3.1.3 through 3.2.0, the optional password parameter supplied during JPEG upload is passed directly into an expect command, which is then executed via bash -c without sanitization or validation. This allows unauthenticated attackers to achieve root-level remote code execution within the worker container. The container's shared Docker network with unauthenticated PostgreSQL and Redis services permits attackers to dump databases or poison job queues. Presence of Docker socket or host volume mounts could enable full host compromise and website defacement. The vulnerability is resolved in version 3.2.1.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can gain root-level remote code execution inside the Aperi'Solve worker container, leading to full read/write access to user-uploaded images, analysis results, and plaintext passwords stored on disk. The attacker can pivot to unauthenticated PostgreSQL and Redis services on the same Docker network to dump databases or manipulate job queues, affecting other users. If Docker socket or host volume mounts are configured, the attacker may escalate privileges to compromise the host system entirely, including defacing the website.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Aperi'Solve to version 3.2.1 or later, where this OS command injection vulnerability is fixed. There is no indication of temporary or alternative mitigations; applying the official fix is required to remediate the issue.
