EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This high-severity CVE scores 7.8 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.3%, top 81% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

NexTor IP Changer is a command-line tool that leverages the Tor network to periodically rotate a user's IP address. Versions prior to 2.0.0 have a command execution vulnerability due to unsafe use of shell=True with commands that rely on executable resolution through the PATH environment variable. An attacker controlling the execution environment can place malicious executables such as sudo earlier in the PATH, resulting in execution of attacker-controlled code. Version 2.0.0 fixes the issue.
