Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

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

mySCADA myPRO versions 8.26.0 and prior contain an OS command injection vulnerability tracked as CVE-2023-28384 and assigned CWE-78. The flaw resides in parameters that accept unsanitized input, allowing execution of arbitrary operating system commands. It carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 with network attack vector, low complexity, and low privileges required.

An authenticated user can supply crafted input to the affected parameters over the network and obtain command execution on the underlying host. Successful exploitation yields full control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.

CISA advisory ICSA-23-096-06 addresses the issue and is referenced for further mitigation guidance. The EPSS score reached a peak of 0.6837 with a current value of 0.6306.

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.

SC-27 Platform-independent Applications
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.

SI-10 Information Input Validation
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).
