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

CVE-2025-20055 is an OS command injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-78, that affects the STEALTHONE D220 and D340 network storage servers from Y'S corporation. The flaw permits unauthenticated remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary operating-system commands on the device, reflected in its CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 resulting from network attack vector, low complexity, and no required privileges or user interaction.

An attacker with network reachability to an unpatched device can issue specially crafted requests that result in full compromise of confidentiality, integrity Availability on the affected storage server, enabling outcomes such as data exfiltration, configuration changes, or deployment of persistent malware.

Firmware updates addressing the issue are referenced in vendor and JVN advisories, specifically versions v6-03-03 for the D220/D340 series and v7-00-11 for the related D440 model. The EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a recorded peak of 0.0384, indicating that exploitation interest increased after public disclosure.

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 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).
