Eclipse Equinox OSGi 3.7.2 and earlier contains a remote code execution vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands by sending payloads to the console interface. Attackers can connect to the OSGi console port and send base64-encoded bash commands wrapped in fork directives to achieve code execution and establish reverse shell connections.
