1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Impact

Full system compromise — the attacker can execute any command with the privileges of the vulnerable application process. With a CVSS score of 8.0 (HIGH), this represents a significant risk.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker injects shell metacharacters (;, |, &&) into a parameter that is passed to a system command, causing additional commands to be executed.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 16, 2026

File Browser provides a file managing interface within a specified directory and it can be used to upload, delete, preview, rename and edit files. Prior to version 2.33.10, the implementation of the allowlist is erroneous, allowing a user to execute more shell commands than they are authorized for. The concrete impact of this vulnerability depends on the commands configured, and the binaries installed on the server or in the container image. Due to the missing separation of scopes on the OS-level, this could give an attacker access to all files managed the application, including the File Browser database. This issue has been patched in version 2.33.10.

RemediationAI

A vendor patch is available — apply it immediately. Avoid passing user input to system commands. Use language-specific APIs instead of shell commands. If unavoidable, use strict input validation and escaping.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2025-52995 presents notable security risk, a command injection vulnerability rated CVSS 8.0. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or commands on affected systems, potentially leading to full system compromise. Proof-of-concept code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation. A patch is available and should be applied as part of regular vulnerability management.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Deploy WAF rules to block injection patterns; (2) Restrict network access to affected components; (3) Enable enhanced logging for suspicious activity.
