CVE-2022-39243 is a critical command injection vulnerability affecting NuProcess, a Java external process execution library, specifically on Linux systems. Attackers can exploit the absence of NUL character sanitization in NuProcess versions 1.2.0 and above to inject arbitrary command line arguments. This vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 9.8 (CRITICAL), indicating it can be exploited remotely with low complexity, leading to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no active exploitation or public exploit code has been identified, and community discussion is minimal, a patch is available in NuProcess version 2.0.5, and sanitizing NUL characters serves as a workaround.
