CVE-2026-34114Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via unsanitized id parameter

Published Jul 1, 2026 · Updated Jul 1, 2026

OS command injection in The Guardian Language System allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands through the id GET parameter. The translate_text.php endpoint concatenates the parameter directly into a shell command passed to PHP exec() without quoting, escaping, or validation. No authentication is required, and injected commands run with the privileges of the Apache HTTP Server process without returning command output.
