  "bluf": "MITRE CAPEC-248 (Command Injection) is a meta-level attack pattern in the MITRE Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification. An adversary looking to execute a command of their choosing, injects new items into an existing command thus modifying interpretation away from what was intended. Commands in this context are often standalone strings that are interpreted by a downstream component and cause specific responses. This type of attack is possible when untrusted values are used to build these command strings. Likelihood of attack: Medium. Typical severity: High. Parent pattern for CAPEC-136 LDAP Injection; CAPEC-183 IMAP/SMTP Command Injection; CAPEC-250 XML Injection; and others. Maps to weaknesses CWE-77.",
