AI-analyzed exploit summary This repository contains a functional exploit for CVE-2026-4802, a command injection vulnerability in Cockpit's system logs UI. The exploit leverages unsanitized user input in the `loadServiceFilters()` function to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.
Description
A flaw was found in Cockpit. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to achieve arbitrary command execution on the host by exploiting unsanitized user-controlled parameters within crafted links in the system logs user interface (UI). An attacker can inject shell metacharacters and command substitutions into these parameters, leading to the execution of arbitrary shell commands on the affected system. This could result in a complete system compromise.
