Summary
generated automatically from NVD dataArchiveBox, an open source self-hosted web archiving system, has an argument injection flaw (CWE-88) in versions 0.8.6rc0 and prior. The /add/ endpoint (AddView in core/views.py) merges a user-supplied config JSON field into the crawl config without validation, and that config is exported as environment variables when archive plugins run. This lets an attacker inject arbitrary tool arguments and achieve remote code execution. The CVSS v3.1 score is 9.8 (CRITICAL), and no public patches were available at publication.
