DescriptionCVE.org

Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command ('Argument Injection') vulnerability in Nomachine allows Argument Injection.This issue affects Nomachine: before 9.5.7, before 8.23.2.

AnalysisAI

Argument injection in NoMachine remote desktop software before versions 9.5.7 and 8.23.2 allows a local authenticated user to inject command-line arguments and achieve high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the host. The flaw is tracked as CWE-88 (Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters), reported by CIRCL, and at the time of analysis there is no public exploit identified.

Technical ContextAI

NoMachine is a commercial remote desktop and NX-protocol-based remote access suite that ships privileged helper components on Windows, Linux, and macOS hosts to broker sessions, manage displays, and execute system operations on behalf of users. CWE-88 (Argument Injection) covers cases where a process builds a child command line by concatenating user-controlled input without separating it from the executable's option parser, so values that contain leading hyphens or special delimiters are interpreted as additional flags rather than data. Per the affected CPE cpe:2.3:a:nomachine:nomachine, the weakness sits in NoMachine itself rather than a bundled third-party library, indicating one of NoMachine's own privileged wrappers fails to neutralize argument delimiters before invoking an underlying binary.

RemediationAI

Upgrade NoMachine to 9.5.7 or later on the 9.x branch, or to 8.23.2 or later on the 8.x branch, per the vendor advisories at https://kb.nomachine.com/SU05X00274 and https://kb.nomachine.com/SU05X00275; these are the only confirmed fixes. Until patching is complete, restrict interactive and remote-shell logon on NoMachine hosts to trusted administrators (the vulnerability requires local low-privileged access), remove non-essential local accounts, and audit setuid/privileged NoMachine helpers and scheduled tasks for invocation by unprivileged users, accepting that these controls reduce who can reach the vulnerable code path but do not eliminate the bug. Monitor process creation events for NoMachine binaries spawning child processes with unexpected argument flags as a detection compensating control, recognizing this will not prevent exploitation.
