01

What, why and how

CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability exists that could cause the execution of any shell command when executing a netstat command using BLMon Console in an SSH session.

What

CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability exists that could cause the execution of any shell command when executing a netstat command using BLMon Console in an SSH session.

Why

Untrusted input is incorporated into an operating-system command without safe parameter handling.

How

An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

02

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
local access → Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

Weakness

CWE-78 ↗

CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection'). The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component.

NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2025-0276Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Schneider Electric Saitel

De kwetsbaarheden bevinden zich in de wijze waarop de BLMon Console omgaat met speciale elementen in besturingssysteemcommando's tijdens SSH-sessies. Een kwaadwillende kan deze kwetsbaarheden misbruiken om ongeautoriseerde shell-commando's uit te voeren, wat kan leiden tot een compromittering van de systeemintegriteit. Voor succesvol misbruik moet de kwaadwillende toegang hebben tot de productie-omgeving. Het is goed gebruik een dergelijke omgeving niet publiek toegankelijk te hebben.
