High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.25%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

OTRS Community Edition contains an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability in the PGP encryption module that allows administrators to execute arbitrary operating-system commands by supplying crafted values for the PGP binary path and command options. Administrator-supplied configuration values are concatenated without sanitization into a shell command, enabling arbitrary command execution as the web server process user during normal ticket operations after the malicious configuration is deployed.
