NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpcp3 package and not the libpcp3 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

A command injection flaw in PCP's linux_sockets PMDA allows malicious shell metacharacters via the network.persocket.filter metric. This failed validation lets attackers execute arbitrary commands as the PMDA user when metrics refresh.
