AI-suggested

Upgrade HRConvert2 to version 3.3.8 or later, where the sanitizeString() function properly filters all special characters including backtick and tab, preventing OS command injection. No other mitigation is indicated or required as the fix is available in the official release.

Description

HRConvert2 is a self-hosted, drag-and-drop & nosql file conversion server & share tool. Prior to 3.3.8, the sanitizeString() function in convertCore.php is missing backtick (`) and tab (\t) from its strip list. User input then reaches shell_exec(), where the shell interprets these characters and commands within filenames execute. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.3.8.
