Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') Vulnerability in the SonicWall Email Security appliance allows an authenticated attacker with access to the SonicWall Email Security restricted CLI can inject arbitrary OS commands that execute as root via netmask.
AnalysisAI
OS command injection in SonicWall Email Security (versions 10.0.35.8405 and earlier) allows an authenticated restricted CLI user to execute arbitrary commands as root via a crafted netmask parameter. The CVSS 7.8 score reflects complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact despite requiring local CLI access and low-level privileges. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires authenticated access to the SonicWall Email Security restricted CLI - the attacker must possess valid credentials for an account that has been granted CLI access on the appliance. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.8 score with vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H accurately reflects the risk profile: local attack vector requires existing authenticated CLI access, which significantly limits the attacker population compared to a network-exploitable flaw. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to upgrade SonicWall Email Security beyond version 10.0.35.8405; the exact patched version is not independently confirmed in the available data and must be obtained from the vendor advisory at https://psirt.global.sonicwall.com/vuln-detail/SNWLID-2026-0012. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Inventory all SonicWall Email Security deployments and identify those running version 10.0.35.8405 or earlier; audit current CLI user accounts and immediately restrict access to only essential administrative staff with documented business justification and approval. …
