About RCE Vulnerabilities

Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities occur when an application allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server. This is one of the most critical security vulnerabilities as it can lead to complete system compromise.

Common RCE Sources
Command Parameters: cmd, command, exec, system
File Upload: file, upload, attachment, image
Serialization: data, serialize, unserialize
Template Parameters: template, view, layout
Database Queries: query, sql, search
Common RCE Types
Command Injection: system(), exec(), shell_exec(), passthru()
File Upload: Malicious file uploads, path traversal, file inclusion
Deserialization: unserialize(), pickle.loads(), ObjectInputStream
Template Injection: eval(), render(), template()
SQL Injection: UNION, SELECT, INTO OUTFILE
Real-World Impact
Complete server compromise and control
Database access and data exfiltration
File system access and manipulation
Network access and lateral movement
Bypassing all security controls
Privilege escalation and persistence
