Python code injection
Summary: PortSwigger describes server-side code injection as occurring when an application incorporates user-controllable data into a string that is dynamically evaluated by a code interpreter, letting crafted input modify the code that executes on the server. The write-up states these vulnerabilities are usually very serious, leading to complete compromise of the application's data and functionality and often of the hosting server, which may then be used as a platform for further attacks.
Key Takeaway: The source's own severity rating is High, and the stated consequence is complete compromise of application data and functionality and often the hosting server itself - a foothold an attacker can then use against other systems.
