Until a fix is available, restrict media upload privileges to trusted users only and consider disabling thumbnail generation if possible to reduce exposure.
Description
HashBrown CMS through 1.4.6 contains an OS Command Injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in the media upload thumbnail generation routine. Media.generateThumbnail in src/Server/Entity/Resource/Media.js builds a temporary file path as 'thumbnail' + Path.extname(filename) and passes it, unescaped, into a shell command executed via AppService.exec ('convert ' + tempFile + ...).
