Summary

A vulnerability in the Guardian language system allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands by injecting shell metacharacters into the 'id' parameter in transcribe.php. The parameter is passed directly to the PHP exec() function without any sanitization.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can gain full control of the server, steal data, install malware, or use the server for further attacks within the internal network.

Recommendation

Immediately update Guardian to the latest patched version. As a workaround, block access to transcribe.php via firewall or web server configuration until the update is applied.

Original NVD description (English source)

Guardian language-system passes the id GET parameter directly into a PHP exec() call in transcribe.php (line 15) without sanitization: exec(\"php jobs/transcribe.php \".$login_session.\" \".$_GET['id'].\" ...\"). No authentication is required. An unauthenticated remote attacker can append shell metacharacters to execute arbitrary OS commands on the server.
