Assessment
Why it matters
EPSS is 0.5%; technical severity is CVSS 9.4.
Unvalidated input in asset filter parameters allows shell metacharacters to escape command argument handling, resulting in remote code execution as a low-privileged OS user via the Analysis REST endpoint.
Who should care
- Teams operating Security Center
- Vulnerability and exposure management teams
- Security operations teams monitoring exploitation activity
