Thor before 1.4.0 can construct an unsafe shell command from library input. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because "the method that was fixed can only be used with arguments that are controlled by Thor, and there is no way an attacker can take control of those arguments."

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Thor before 1.4.0 can construct an unsafe shell command from library input.
