CVE-2025-20061 is a critical-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Cisa (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.3 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 45.5th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SC-7 (Boundary Protection) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-20061 is a critical vulnerability in mySCADA myPRO, published on 2025-01-29, where the software fails to properly neutralize POST requests sent to a specific port containing email information. Classified as CWE-78 (OS Command Injection), it enables arbitrary command execution on the affected system and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
The vulnerability can be exploited by any remote attacker with network access, requiring low attack complexity, no authentication privileges, and no user interaction. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary commands, resulting in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation details are available in the CISA ICS Advisory ICSA-25-023-01 at https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-25-023-01.
