AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-reachable management interface (AV:N) with no user interaction, but requires top-tier SuperAdmin (PR:H); command injection escapes app authority to host OS (S:C) yielding full C/I/A.
Primary rating from Vendor (sonicwall).

Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
An Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability in the SonicWall Network Security Manager (NSM) On-Prem Management interface allows an authenticated attacker with SuperAdmin privileges to inject arbitrary commands that are executed on the underlying host, resulting in remote code execution.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in SonicWall Network Security Manager (NSM) On-Prem 4.3.0 and earlier allows a SuperAdmin-authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary OS commands through the management interface, executing them on the underlying host with the privileges of the management application. Because exploitation requires the highest-tier SuperAdmin role (CVSS PR:H), the real-world attack surface is narrower than the 9.1 score alone suggests. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires an authenticated session at the SuperAdmin privilege level on a SonicWall NSM On-Prem instance running version 4.3.0 or earlier; the attacker must reach the management interface over the network (AV:N) but no user interaction is needed (UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H = 9.1) marks this as critical-severity, but the single most important signal is PR:H - exploitation requires an already-authenticated SuperAdmin, the highest privilege in NSM. … 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 | Upgrade SonicWall NSM On-Prem to a fixed release above 4.3.0 as directed in SonicWall advisory SNWLID-2026-0015 (https://psirt.global.sonicwall.com/vuln-detail/SNWLID-2026-0015); the input does not enumerate an exact fixed build, so confirm the precise patched version from the advisory before deploying. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all NSM On-Prem deployments running version 4.3.0 or earlier and immediately restrict management interface access to trusted administration networks via firewall rules; audit SuperAdmin account activity for unauthorized access. …
