Overview
CVE-2025-64127 is a critical security vulnerability affecting specific systems due to an OS command injection flaw. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands remotely. Due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input, parameters accepted by the application are incorporated into OS commands without proper validation, creating a pathway for malicious exploitation. This vulnerability was published on 2025-11-26T18:15:49.243.
Technical Details
The root cause of CVE-2025-64127 lies in the inadequate input validation performed on parameters accepted by the vulnerable application. Specifically, when the application constructs operating system commands, it directly includes user-provided input without proper sanitization or escaping. This allows an attacker to inject malicious commands into the OS command string, which the application then executes with the privileges of the running process. The exact mechanism and vulnerable parameter are described in detail within the vendor advisories and the CISA advisory referenced below.
CVSS Analysis
This vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS score of 10.0, classifying it as CRITICAL severity. This high score reflects the ease of exploitation, the lack of authentication required, and the potential for complete system compromise.
Possible Impact
The successful exploitation of CVE-2025-64127 can have severe consequences, including:
- Remote Code Execution (RCE): Attackers can execute arbitrary commands on the affected system.
- System Compromise: Full control over the vulnerable system is possible, allowing attackers to steal sensitive data, install malware, or disrupt services.
- Lateral Movement: A compromised system can be used as a pivot point to attack other systems within the network.
- Denial of Service (DoS): Attackers can crash the system or make it unavailable to legitimate users.
Mitigation and Patch Steps
To mitigate the risk posed by CVE-2025-64127, it is crucial to take the following steps immediately:
- Apply the Patch: The primary mitigation is to apply the security patch provided by the vendor. Refer to the vendor’s advisory for instructions on how to download and install the patch.
- Input Validation: If patching is not immediately possible, implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied input. Ensure that all special characters are properly escaped before being used in OS commands.
- Principle of Least Privilege: Ensure that the application runs with the minimum privileges necessary to perform its functions. This can limit the impact of a successful attack.
- Network Segmentation: Isolate the vulnerable system from other critical systems on the network to prevent lateral movement.
- Monitor for Suspicious Activity: Implement monitoring and logging to detect any suspicious activity that may indicate an attempted exploitation.
