Impact

Guardian language‑system’s speech.php passes the id GET parameter directly into a PHP exec() call without sanitization. Unchecked input allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject shell metacharacters, resulting in arbitrary OS command execution. This flaw satisfies CWE‑78 and can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.

Affected Systems

installations of Guardian Language‑System. No specific product versions are listed in the advisory, so the component is potentially impacted until a vendor correction is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.3 indicates critical severity. With an EPSS score of <1% the current likelihood of exploitation is considered low, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. However, the flaw is exploitable via unauthenticated HTTP requests to speech.php, requiring no credentials and only the ability to send a crafted id parameter. Attackers could thus execute arbitrary commands on the server, potentially compromising the entire environment.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Obtain and install the vendor‑released patch or updated version of sanitizes the id parameter in exec() usage.
  • Deploy network restrictions to limit access to speech.php so that only authenticated or trusted IPs can reach the endpoint.
  • As an immediate countermeasure, edit the PHP source of speech.php to validate the id parameter (e.g., enforce numeric values) or comment out/remove the exec() call until the official fix is applied.
