# Execute Lua script

`POST /tools/execute-script`

Execute the provided Lua script by the Orthanc server. This is very insecure for Orthanc servers that are remotely accessible.  Since Orthanc 1.5.8, this route is disabled by default and can be enabled thanks to the `ExecuteLuaEnabled` configuration.

## Response `200`
