Spreecommerce < 0.50.x API RCE
Spreecommerce versions prior to 0.50.x contain a remote command execution vulnerability in the API's search functionality. Improper input sanitation allows attackers to inject arbitrary shell commands via the search[instance_eval] parameter, which is dynamically invoked using Ruby’s send method. This flaw enables unauthenticated attackers to execute commands on the server.
