Deeper analysis
Netwrix Password Secure through version 9.2 is affected by a command injection vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-26818. The flaw, assigned CWE-94, permits unauthenticated attackers to inject and execute arbitrary commands, resulting in a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 reflecting full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability over the network without any required credentials or user interaction.
An attacker with network access can exploit the issue remotely to run operating-system commands on the Password Secure server. Successful exploitation grants the ability to read or modify sensitive password data, alter application behavior, or disrupt service availability, all without prior authentication.
Netwrix has published advisory ADV-2025-009 together with a bug-fix list for the 9.2 release that addresses the command-injection flaw; administrators should apply the referenced updates or mitigations from the vendor security site to eliminate exposure.

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.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
