Summary
CVE-2025-11202 is a critical-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Zerodayinitiative (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 14% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as AI Agent Protocols and Integrations; in the Protocol-Specific Risks risk domain.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-11202 is a command injection vulnerability in the resolveCommandPath method of win-cli-mcp-server. The flaw stems from insufficient validation of a user-supplied string that is passed directly to a system call, enabling arbitrary command execution. It affects installations of the win-cli-mcp-server package and carries a CVSS 3.0 base score of 9.8 with the CWE-78 classification for OS command injection.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit the issue over the network to execute arbitrary code in the context of the service account. No user interaction or credentials are required, and successful exploitation grants full control over the affected service.
The referenced Zero Day Initiative advisory ZDI-25-930 and the associated GitHub commit document the fix, which adds proper input sanitization to the resolveCommandPath implementation. Administrators should apply the patch or update to the corrected version of win-cli-mcp-server to eliminate the vulnerability. The EPSS score remains low with only a modest increase between its current and peak values.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.
Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.
Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.
Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.
Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

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).
