Description

*UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED* Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection') vulnerability in Apache Continuum. This issue affects Apache Continuum: all versions. Attackers with access to the Installations REST API can use this to invoke arbitrary commands on the server. As this project is retired, we do not plan to release a version that fixes this issue.
