Summary

CVE-2022-31137 is a critical-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Roxy-Wi Roxy-Wi. Its CVSS base score is 10.0 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 0.2% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

Roxy-WI is a web interface for managing HAProxy, Nginx, Apache, and Keepalived servers. Versions prior to 6.1.1.0 contain a remote code execution vulnerability caused by missing input validation in the subprocess_execute function within /app/options.py, which directly passes user-supplied data to system commands and corresponds to CWE-78.

Unauthenticated attackers with network access can exploit the flaw remotely to execute arbitrary operating-system commands. The CVSS 3.1 score of 10.0 reflects the absence of required authentication, privileges, or user interaction combined with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact under a changed scope.

Public references include multiple PacketStorm exploit files demonstrating remote command execution against versions 6.1.0.0 and earlier, along with the corrective commit that addresses the issue. The project advisory states that users should upgrade to 6.1.1.0 or later, as no workarounds are known. The associated EPSS score remains consistently high, with a current value of 0.9397 and a peak of 0.9498.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

addresses: CWE-78

Platform-independent apps typically execute inside a managed runtime or sandbox that restricts direct OS command execution, reducing the ability to exploit OS command injection.

addresses: CWE-78

Validates inputs to block special elements that would alter OS command execution.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
