What is CVE-2023-35042?

GeoServer, specifically version 2.x, has a vulnerability that permits remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through the use of the 'java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec' function within a 'wps:Execute' request. This security flaw can be exploited when specific configurations are present. Although reports of active exploitation surfaced as early as June 2023, the vendor has cited an inability to reproduce the issue across any version of the product, raising concerns about its implications for system security.
