PowSyBl Core has Command Injection in LocalCommandExecutor-s
GitHub lists this reviewed advisory for com.powsybl:powsybl-computation-local. Published version ranges and source prerequisites are shown below; this is not an inspection of a visitor’s application.
This report has not inspected your inventory, configuration, deployed build, reachability or evidence. A catalog listing and a severity score do not establish exposure or compromise.

### Impact #### Description Both `AbstractLocalCommandExecutor` OS-dependent implementations are subject to **CWE-78** (OS Command Injection), with a secondary **CWE-88** (Argument Injection) concern via environment variables. The local command executor build command strings via concatenation and executes them (through `bash -c` for Unix, or `cmd /c` for Windows). Any string argument or environment variable value reaching this executor can break out of the intended command and execute arbitrary shell code as the JVM user. The sink is reachable through public APIs that accept `List` arguments without any documented indication that elements undergo shell interpretation. Any caller — CLI, library integration, or embedding service — that forwards data from a less-trusted source into these APIs inherits the vulnerability. #### Vulnerable elements The vulnerable elements are: - Public methods: - `UnixLocalCommandExecutor.execute(...)` - `WindowsLocalCommandExecutor.execute(...)` - `LocalComputationManager.execute(...)` - `ParallelLoadFlowActionSimulator.run(...)` - `ActionSimulatorTool.run(...)` - `AmplModelRunner.run(...)` - `AmplModelRunner.runAsync(...)` - *
03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. GitHub Advisory Database
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
04 / Limits

- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.

Sources you can inspect
Each assertion retains its source. Mirrored records may repeat one underlying publisher; additional links are not independent corroboration.
