Deeper analysis
A vulnerability classified as critical has been identified in WeiYe-Jing datax-web version 2.1.2. It resides in the HTTP POST Request Handler component, specifically within the /api/log/killJob endpoint, where improper handling of the processId argument enables operating system command injection. The issue is tracked as CWE-78 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.3 reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and low-privileged access requirements.
An authenticated remote attacker can supply a crafted processId value in a POST request to the affected endpoint, resulting in execution of arbitrary operating system commands. Successful exploitation yields limited read, write, and disruption capabilities on the underlying system, and a public proof-of-concept has been released.
The EPSS score for this CVE stands at 0.5381 with no material increase from its initial value after disclosure.
