CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2023-29944 is a critical-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Metersphere Metersphere. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique NTDS (T1003.003); ranked in the top 19% 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.
MeterSphere version 1.20.20-lts-79d354a6 contains a remote command execution vulnerability in its workbench custom code snippet function. The flaw stems from improper handling of user-supplied input that is passed to system commands, corresponding to CWE-78 OS command injection, and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8 reflecting network-accessible, unauthenticated exploitation with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
An attacker with no credentials can send a crafted request to the affected endpoint and execute arbitrary operating-system commands, including the establishment of reverse shells. This grants complete control over the underlying host without requiring user interaction or elevated privileges.
Public references consist of the upstream MeterSphere GitHub repository and third-party sites that reproduce the issue, yet they contain no explicit patch identifiers, fixed versions, or mitigation guidance. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at 0.1071 since disclosure, indicating no material increase in observed exploitation activity.

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.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

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.
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).
