Unauthenticated remote code execution in REDCap. The vulnerability spans two components: the survey passthrough routing module, which accepts crafted HTTP requests that reach controller routes outside the intended public-facing scope, and the data import handler, which processes file-path and stream parameters without adequate restriction. Combining both conditions from the public survey entry point allows arbitrary code execution on the server without any credentials.
