Deeper analysis
CVE-2022-27903 is an OS command injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-78, that resides in the configuration parser of Eve-NG Professional through version 4.0.1-65 and Eve-NG Community through version 2.0.3-112. The flaw permits a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root by modifying virtualization command parameters inside imported UNL files.
An attacker with a valid account on an affected Eve-NG instance can upload or edit a UNL file containing malicious command parameters; because the parser does not sanitize these values before passing them to the operating system, the injected commands run with root privileges, resulting in full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact as reflected by the CVSS 8.8 score.
Vendor references point to the Eve-NG website and its release-notes pages for further information, though no explicit mitigation steps are detailed in the supplied references. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at 0.0583 with no material increase after disclosure.
