Commix 1.4
is a significant version of the Commix (short for [comm]and [i]njection e[x]ploiter) tool, an open-source penetration testing software designed to automate the detection and exploitation of OS command injection vulnerabilities in web applications.
Commix is a popular open-source tool used for exploiting and testing command injection vulnerabilities in web applications. The latest version, Commix 1.4, comes with new features and improvements.
python3 commix.py --url "http://target.com/api" --headers "X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1" --waf-bypass --pseudo-shell commix 1.4
In this command, the -u flag specifies the target, and INJECT_HERE marks the parameter to be tested. The --batch switch allows the tool to run non-interactively, making default choices for the user.
If you do bug bounties or penetration testing, add Commix to your toolkit. Not every test requires it, but when you find a parameter that executes system commands, you'll be glad you have this on hand. is a significant version of the Commix (short
For the uninitiated: Commix is an open-source, Python-based tool written by Anastasios Stasinopoulos (@ancst). It tests web applications for command injection vulnerabilities by injecting operating system commands into vulnerable parameters (GET/POST/Cookies/Headers) and then analyzing the output.
Allows users to develop and import custom modules to adapt the tool to specific environments or niche exploitation needs. python3 commix
Commix 1.4 can now chain with:
python commix.py -u "http://example.com/vulnerable-page.php?param=value"
Written in Python, Commix is designed to be a standard tool in a pentester’s arsenal, functioning similarly to how SQLmap works for SQL injection. Its primary goal is to simplify the complex process of injecting operating system commands into vulnerable web application parameters. Whether the injection point is in a cookie, a header, or a standard POST/GET parameter, Commix tests various payloads to determine if the application is susceptible.
