Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command ('Argument Injection')

CVE-2022-30284

High
9.8/10

Summary

In the python-libnmap package through 0.7.2 for Python, remote command execution can occur (if used in a client application that does not validate arguments). NOTE: the vendor believes it would be unrealistic for an application to call "NmapProcess" with arguments taken from input data that arrived over an untrusted network, and thus the CVSS score corresponds to an unrealistic use case. None of the "NmapProcess" documentation implies that this is an expected use case.

CWE-88 - Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command ('Argument Injection')

The software constructs a string for a command to executed by a separate component in another control sphere, but it does not properly delimit the intended arguments, options, or switches within that command string.
