COMMAND INJECTION PRIMER
Command injection is a type of attack in which arbitrary operating system commands are executed on the host via a vulnerable web application. Usually, this occurs when an application passes unsafe user input from a form to the server, but this can also happen with cookies, HTTP headers, and other sources of data.
This type of vulnerability is especially dangerous because of the intrinsic power of system commands. Depending on the level of privilege an application is running with, command injection can lead to an attacker owning an entire system.
