Bypassing weak command injection filters using encoding and alternative syntax.
1import subprocess23def run_diagnostic(target):4 # "Security" filter - block dangerous characters5 blocked = [';', '|', '&', '$', '`', '>', '<']6 for char in blocked:7 if char in target:8 return "Invalid input"910 cmd = f"ping -c 1 {target}"11 result = subprocess.run(cmd, shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True)12 return result.stdout
Blocklist filters are easily bypassed. Newlines, tabs, and encoded characters can inject commands. Always use allowlist validation and avoid shell=True.
Bypass blocklist using newline character

target = "8.8.8.8%0aid" # URL encoded newlineExecutes ping then whoami/id command
