The record

A Server-Side Code Injection vulnerability exists in the Yamcs script evaluation engine for Python algorithms. The application dynamically compiles and evaluates user-controlled algorithm text using Jython (via the JSR-223 ScriptEngine API) without enforcing a secure sandbox. An authenticated user with the `ChangeMissionDatabase` privilege can exploit this by overriding the algorithm logic through the REST API, achieving Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the underlying host operating system.
