Summary

CVE-2025-34088 is a high-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Pandorafms Pandora Fms. Its CVSS base score is 8.6 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 6% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

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.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

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

An authenticated remote code execution vulnerability affects Pandora FMS version 7.0NG and earlier. The flaw resides in the net_tools.php component, where the select_ips parameter used for network diagnostic operations such as ping is passed to system commands without adequate sanitization. This permits command injection, tracked as CWE-78, and carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.6 reflecting network-accessible exploitation by a high-privileged authenticated user with no user interaction required.

An attacker who already possesses valid administrative credentials can supply a crafted select_ips value to execute arbitrary operating-system commands on the underlying host. Successful exploitation grants full control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the monitored system, enabling actions such as data exfiltration, persistence installation, or lateral movement within the environment.

Public exploit code is available, including a Metasploit module and an Exploit-DB entry that demonstrate the injection vector. The associated EPSS score currently stands at 0.7412 with an identical recorded peak, indicating sustained exploitation interest following disclosure.

Vulnerability Data

An authenticated remote code execution vulnerability exists in Pandora FMS version 7.0NG and earlier. The net_tools.php functionality allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary OS commands via the select_ips parameter when performing network tools operations, such as pinging. This occurs because…

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

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).
