An authenticated command injection vulnerability was identified in GMS Command-Line Interface (CLI) 9.5.1 (Build 9510.1044) and earlier versions which allows low-privileged local user to execute system commands with root privileges.
AnalysisAI
Command injection in SonicWall Global Management System (GMS) CLI version 9.5.1 and earlier enables a low-privileged user to execute arbitrary system commands with root privileges, constituting a full local privilege escalation on the GMS management host. The flaw is rooted in CWE-94 (Code Injection) within the CLI component, where unsanitized user input reaches a system command interpreter running at elevated privilege. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid low-privileged local user account on the GMS system (PR:L per CVSS). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The official CVSS 3.1 score of 6.3 Medium is driven by low-complexity, low-privilege conditions, but the partial impact ratings (C:L/I:L/A:L) appear to materially understate actual post-exploitation consequence - root command execution on a management host typically implies full system compromise, not merely marginal confidentiality, integrity, and availability degradation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has obtained a low-privileged local account on a GMS host - through credential theft, insider access, or prior compromise of another account on the system - accesses the GMS CLI and submits a crafted input string containing OS command metacharacters or injection tokens. The CLI passes this input unsanitized to a system command interpreter executing at root privilege, causing the injected commands to run with full system access. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to upgrade SonicWall GMS to the version that resolves SNWLID-2026-0011 per the SonicWall PSIRT advisory at https://psirt.global.sonicwall.com/vuln-detail/SNWLID-2026-0011. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
