Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection in the JavaExprAlgorithmExecutionFactory process. An attacker can execute arbitrary code on the underlying operating system by injecting malicious Java expressions through the REST API when authenticated with the ChangeMissionDatabase privilege.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the attacker possesses valid credentials with the required privilege and can access a running instance with an active processor.
