| Impact | Real-world risk assessment reveals moderate-to-high priority concerns tempered by access constraints. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.0 (High) reflects maximum impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H), with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction required (UI:N). However, exploitation requires adjacent network access (AV:A) and low-level authentication (PR:L), significantly limiting the attack surface compared to unauthenticated remote vulnerabilities. No EPSS score is provided, but command injection vulnerabilities historically demonstrate moderate exploitation probability when access requirements are met. No confirmed active exploitation (no KEV listing) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis reduces immediate urgency. The SSVC framework considerations suggest: exploitation status is currently proof-of-concept level, technical impact is total system compromise, but automatable exploitation is constrained by authentication and network positioning requirements. Priority should be elevated for organizations where MantaRay NM is accessible from less-trusted network segments or where low-privilege user accounts are broadly distributed. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with valid low-privilege credentials to Nokia MantaRay NM gains access to the management interface from an adjacent network position, such as a corporate LAN segment or compromised network device. The attacker navigates to the Log Search application and injects shell metacharacters or command separators into search parameters that are improperly sanitized before being passed to underlying OS commands. This allows execution of arbitrary system commands with the privileges of the MantaRay NM application process, potentially leading to complete system compromise, extraction of sensitive network configuration data, manipulation of network management operations, or pivoting to managed network devices. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 07, 2026
OS command injection in Nokia MantaRay NM Log Search application allows authenticated adjacent network attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 25R1-NM due to improper neutralization of special elements in OS commands (CWE-77). CVSS score of 8.0 reflects high severity with low attack complexity requiring low-level authentication from adjacent network position. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though command injection vulnerabilities are well-understood and relatively straightforward to exploit once access requirements are met.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Organizations should immediately upgrade Nokia MantaRay NM to version 25R1-NM or later, which addresses the OS command injection vulnerability in the Log Search application. The upgrade should be prioritized for production deployments, particularly those where MantaRay NM is accessible from broader network segments or where multiple users have authenticated access. As interim risk mitigation while planning upgrades, organizations should restrict network access to MantaRay NM management interfaces using firewall rules or network segmentation, limit user account privileges to only those requiring Log Search functionality, and implement enhanced monitoring for suspicious command execution patterns in MantaRay NM logs.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability stems from CWE-77 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command), commonly known as OS command injection. The flaw exists in the Log Search application component of Nokia MantaRay NM, a network management platform. Command injection occurs when user-supplied input is passed to system shell commands without proper sanitization, allowing attackers to inject shell metacharacters or command separators to execute arbitrary commands. The CPE identifier cpe:2.3:a:nokia:mantaray_nm indicates this affects the MantaRay NM application software. The adjacent network attack vector (AV:A) suggests the vulnerable interface is accessible from the same network segment but not directly from the internet, typical of management interfaces in enterprise network management systems. Low privileges required (PR:L) indicates a standard authenticated user account is sufficient for exploitation, without requiring administrative credentials.

DescriptionCVE.org
Nokia MantaRay NM is vulnerable to an OS command injection vulnerability due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command in Log Search application.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2025-24818 is a high-severity OS command injection vulnerability in Nokia MantaRay NM Log Search that allows authenticated adjacent network attackers to execute arbitrary commands, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the application and underlying systems. Organizations running MantaRay versions prior to 25R1-NM face immediate risk of unauthorized system access and data exfiltration by internal or adjacent network users with low-level authentication privileges.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) restrict network access to Log Search via firewall/segmentation to trusted administrator networks only; (2) enforce strong authentication and disable default accounts; (3) implement comprehensive audit logging of all Log Search queries and command execution; (4) monitor for suspicious process execution and OS command patterns on affected systems; (5) consider disabling Log Search functionality until 25R1-NM is available and deployed.
