4) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48337)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when parsing name of a source-code file in lib-src/etags.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim use the "etags -u *" command on the directory with attacker controlled content and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.



5) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48339)
