MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Pandora FMS versions 777–800 with Network Report feature enabled. Requires authenticated user account with permissions to create or modify network reports. Attacker injects OS commands through Network Report input fields. |
| Impact | Real-world risk assessment reveals a critical vulnerability with high exploitability but requiring authenticated access. CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 reflects HIGH base severity with network attack vector, low complexity, and no user interaction required. The PR:L (low privileges) requirement means any authenticated user can exploit this, not just administrators. Impact is severe: high confidentiality and integrity impact (VC:H, VI:H) with low availability impact (VA:L) to the vulnerable system, plus limited subsequent system impacts (SC:L, SI:L, SA:L). The vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed active exploitation in real-world attacks. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis. Without EPSS data provided, we cannot quantify probabilistic exploitation likelihood, but the combination of network accessibility, low complexity, and command injection primitive suggests this would be highly attractive to attackers once exploit techniques become public. The SSVC framework indicators show: exploitation status is none (no POC/KEV), technical impact is total (arbitrary command execution enables full system compromise within security boundaries), and automatable is yes (command injection can be easily scripted). The authenticated requirement and lack of public exploits moderates immediate risk, but organizations running affected Pandora FMS versions should treat this as high priority given the monitoring platform's typical network position and access to sensitive infrastructure data. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated attacker with low-privilege credentials to a Pandora FMS monitoring console navigates to the Network Report functionality and crafts a malicious report parameter containing OS command injection payloads such as semicolons or pipe characters followed by system commands. When the application processes this report request, it fails to sanitize the input and executes the injected commands with the privileges of the Pandora FMS process, typically the web server user or a dedicated monitoring service account. The attacker can execute arbitrary commands to exfiltrate sensitive monitoring data including network credentials, install persistent backdoors, pivot to monitored systems using collected credentials, or manipulate monitoring configurations to hide malicious activity across the infrastructure. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 13, 2026
OS command injection in Pandora FMS versions 777 through 800 allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands via the Network Report functionality. The vulnerability stems from improper input sanitization of special elements used in OS commands. With CVSS 8.7 (HIGH) severity and network-accessible attack vector requiring only low privileges, this poses significant risk to monitoring infrastructure despite no confirmed active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) or public exploit code at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Organizations running Pandora FMS versions 777-800 should immediately consult the vendor security advisory at https://pandorafms.com/en/security/common-vulnerabilities-and-exposures/ for patch availability and upgrade instructions. Upstream fix available per vendor advisory; specific patched version number not independently confirmed from available data. Until patching is completed, implement immediate compensatory controls: restrict network access to the Pandora FMS web interface to trusted administrator IP addresses only using firewall rules or web server access controls, review and audit all user accounts with access to Network Report functionality, enable comprehensive command execution logging on the Pandora FMS server to detect exploitation attempts, and consider disabling the Network Report feature entirely if not operationally critical. For organizations unable to patch immediately, deploy web application firewall rules to inspect and block requests to Network Report endpoints containing command injection metacharacters (semicolons, pipes, backticks, dollar signs with parentheses). Verify patch effectiveness post-deployment by reviewing server-side input validation in the Network Report code path.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in Pandora FMS, an open-source network monitoring and management solution. The affected component is the Network Report feature, which appears to accept user-supplied input that gets incorporated into system command execution without proper sanitization. CWE-78 (OS Command Injection) indicates the application constructs OS commands using externally-influenced input but fails to neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:pandora_fms:pandora_fms identifies the Pandora FMS application as the vulnerable product. Versions 777 through 800 (approximately 23 consecutive releases) are confirmed affected, suggesting this is a design flaw introduced in version 777 or a long-standing weakness not previously identified. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network accessibility (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no additional attack requirements (AT:N), and requirement for low-privileged authentication (PR:L), meaning any authenticated user regardless of permission level could potentially exploit this vulnerability.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command vulnerability allows OS Command Injection via Network Report. This issue affects Pandora FMS: from 777 through 800
Executive ViewAI
Pandora FMS versions 777-800 contain a command injection vulnerability in Network Report functionality that allows low-privileged authenticated users to execute arbitrary system commands on the monitoring infrastructure. This directly threatens operational visibility and control systems that depend on Pandora FMS, potentially enabling lateral movement and data exfiltration across monitored environments.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict Network Report function access to administrative accounts only via role-based access control; (2) Implement network segmentation to limit Pandora FMS to trusted management networks; (3) Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block OS command metacharacters (|, ;, &, $, `) in Network Report parameters; (4) Enable command execution logging on Pandora FMS host OS and monitor for suspicious process spawning; (5) Monitor Pandora FMS release notes and vendor security advisories for patch availability.
