CVE-2026-41900: CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in th30d4y OpenLearnX
CVE-2026-41900 is a high-severity vulnerability in the OpenLearnX platform prior to version 2.0.3. It involves improper neutralization of special elements in OS commands, leading to remote code execution and sandbox escape in the code execution environment. This allows an attacker with limited privileges to execute arbitrary commands on the host system. The vulnerability has been patched in OpenLearnX version 2.0.3.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
OpenLearnX versions before 2.0.3 contain an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in the code execution environment. This flaw permits remote attackers with limited privileges to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary OS commands, resulting in full system compromise. The vulnerability is rated with a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 (high severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The issue has been fixed in version 2.0.3.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote code execution with sandbox escape, enabling attackers to run arbitrary commands on the host system. This can lead to complete compromise of the affected system, including unauthorized access, data manipulation, and service disruption.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade OpenLearnX to version 2.0.3 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. No other mitigation steps are indicated or required as the fix addresses the root cause.
