Search API attachments - Critical - Arbitrary PHP code execution - SA-CONTRIB-2021-034

This module enables you to extract the textual content of files for use on a website, e.g. to display it or use it in search indexes.

The module doesn't sufficiently protect the administrator-defined commands that are executed on the server, which leads to post-authentication remote code execution by a limited set of users.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer search_api". Sites are encouraged to review which roles have that permission and which users have that role, to ensure that only trusted users have that permission.
