AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Local vector because exploitation requires CLI session access; PR:L because restricted (non-admin) CLI credentials suffice; full C/I/A because root-level code execution is achieved.

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 SNMP.
AnalysisAI
OS command injection via the SNMP-handling code path in SonicWall Email Security 10.0.35.8405 and earlier grants a low-privileged, authenticated CLI user root-level code execution on the underlying appliance OS. The restricted CLI fails to sanitize user-supplied input before passing it to SNMP-related system commands, enabling full host compromise. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires two concrete prerequisites: (1) the attacker must hold valid credentials granting access to the SonicWall Email Security restricted CLI - confirmed by the CVSS PR:L designation, meaning standard (non-administrative) CLI credentials suffice; (2) the SNMP functionality must be accessible or invokable from within the restricted CLI session, which is the default configuration for this appliance class. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H reflects a local, low-complexity attack requiring only restricted CLI credentials - not administrative rights - with no user interaction. … 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 apply the vendor-released patch per SonicWall advisory SNWLID-2026-0012 at https://psirt.global.sonicwall.com/vuln-detail/SNWLID-2026-0012, upgrading beyond the affected boundary of version 10.0.35.8405. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all SonicWall Email Security instances to identify those running version 10.0.35.8405 or earlier and audit which user accounts hold CLI access to determine exposure scope. …
