CWE-95: Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code ('Eval Injection')

ID CWE-95

Abstraction Variant

Structure Simple

Status Incomplete

Number of CVEs 60

The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes code syntax before using the input in a dynamic evaluation call (e.g. "eval").

This may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, or at least modify what code can be executed.

Modes of Introduction
