JavaScript transformer with code like:

var cmd = ["bash","-c", msg]; var proc = java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd); proc.waitFor(); var stdout = proc.getInputStream(); msg = org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.toString(stdout); if (msg == null || msg.equals("")) { var stderr = proc.getErrorStream(); msg = org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.toString(stderr); }

Is capable of executing any Linux command on the Mirth appliance with root privileges.

Why are you running the Mirth server as root? The java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd) is going to run at the same privilege as the parent thread/fork. This is not a Mirth issue but a setup/configuration issue.
