The vulnerability arises because the supplied filename is directly inserted into the shell command that unzips the file, enabling command injection. Based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker could run arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server process, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The flaw is triggered when an attacker uploads a ZIP file and activates the Process Images action in the web interface.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The vulnerability lacks an official CVSS or EPSS score, but its nature indicates a high severity risk. The likely attack vector is the web interface: an attacker must be able to upload a ZIP file and trigger the Process Images action, which is normally possible by a registered user or any visitor with upload permissions. Although not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, the potential for remote code execution makes it a critical risk for any affected deployment."}}}}, "created": "2026-04-08T19:50:21.306058+00:00", "title": "Command Injection via Untrusted Filenames in Koha Library Cover\u2011Image Upload", "updated": "2026-04-09T08:24:31.592102+00:00", "vendors": ["koha-community", "koha-community$PRODUCT$koha_library_software"], "weaknesses": ["CWE-78"]}
