——0Qubes OS before qubes-core-dom0-linux 4.3.22 allows OS command injection during a qvm-copy-to-vm call from dom0 to an attacker-controlled qube, because the "system" library function is used to process an error message that may have shell metacharacters. This occurs in core-admin-linux/file-copy-vm/qfile-dom0-agent.c.15h CVE-2026-754868.0 HIG

——20Synk Sweater Comb before 3.8.8 contains a command injection vulnerability that allows an attacker who controls the .vervet.yaml configuration file to execute arbitrary OS commands by injecting malicious input into the linters.<key>.optic-ci.original branch name field. The expectGitBranch() function in src/lint.ts passes the unsanitized branch name directly into child_process.exec() via an unescaped template literal, enabling arbitrary command execution when the lint command is run against the repository.2d CVE-2026-751237.2 HIG

——19PLANET GS-4210-16P2S firmware before 3.441b260626 contains an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability in /cgi-bin/dispatcher.cgi. The web_smtp_test_post handler incorporates a caller-supplied SMTP server value directly into a shell command without sanitization. A remote attacker with administrator web credentials can send a crafted SMTP server value to execute arbitrary operating-system commands on the device.2d CVE-2026-751227.2 HIG

——16PLANET GS-4210-16P2S firmware before 3.441b260626 contains an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability in /cgi-bin/httpuploadcert.cgi. The certificate password field in a certificate upload request is incorporated into a shell command without sanitization of shell metacharacters. A remote attacker with administrator web credentials can submit a crafted certificate upload request to execute arbitrary operating-system commands on the device.2d CVE-2026-751217.2 HIG

——11PowSyBl (Power System Blocks) is a framework to build power system oriented software. Prior to 7.2.2, UnixLocalCommandExecutor and WindowsLocalCommandExecutor concatenate command arguments and environment variables into strings interpreted through bash -c or cmd /c without sufficient escaping. Attacker-controlled values reaching UnixLocalCommandExecutor.execute, WindowsLocalCommandExecutor.execute, LocalComputationManager.execute, ParallelLoadFlowActionSimulator.run, ActionSimulatorTool.run, AmplModelRunner.run, or AmplModelRunner.runAsync can break out of the intended command and execute arbitrary shell commands as the JVM user. The affected itools paths include action-simulator with task-count, security-analysis with external, and dynamic-security-analysis. Downstream CLI tools, libraries, REST front ends, and multi-tenant grid-analysis services that forward less-trusted contingency identifiers or computation parameters into these APIs can expose the injection remotely. This issue is fixed in version 7.2.2.2d
