CVE-2025-55055

6.8 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2025-55055 is an OS command injection vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands on affected systems by injecting malicious input. This affects applications that improperly sanitize user input before passing it to system commands. Organizations using vulnerable software versions are at risk.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Specific product information not available in provided reference
Versions: Version range not specified in provided reference
Operating Systems: Operating system dependencies not specified
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Vulnerability affects applications that process untrusted input and pass it to system commands without proper sanitization.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system compromise allowing remote code execution, data theft, lateral movement, and persistent backdoor installation.

🟠

Likely Case

Limited command execution within application context, potentially leading to data exposure or service disruption.

🟢

If Mitigated

Contained impact with proper input validation and least privilege controls limiting command execution scope.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

OS command injection typically has low exploitation complexity when vulnerable endpoints are exposed.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not available

Vendor Advisory: https://www.gov.il/en/departments/dynamiccollectors/cve_advisories_listing?skip=0

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Monitor vendor advisory for patch release. 2. Apply patch when available. 3. Test in non-production environment first.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation and Sanitization

all

Implement strict input validation and sanitize all user inputs before processing

# Application-specific implementation required

Least Privilege Execution

linux

Run application with minimal system privileges to limit impact of command injection

# Example for Linux: sudo -u lowprivuser application_command

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to block command injection patterns
  • Network segmentation to isolate vulnerable systems from critical assets

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Review application code for unsanitized user input passed to system commands like exec(), system(), or popen()

Check Version:

# Application-specific version check required

Verify Fix Applied:

Test with safe input validation and verify no command execution occurs with malicious payloads

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual command execution patterns
  • Application errors from command execution failures
  • Suspicious user input containing shell metacharacters

Network Indicators:

  • Unexpected outbound connections from application servers
  • Unusual command and control traffic patterns

SIEM Query:

source="application_logs" AND ("exec" OR "system" OR "popen") AND suspicious_patterns
