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

CVE-2025-56588 is a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability affecting Dolibarr ERP & CRM version 21.0.1. The flaw resides in the User module configuration, exploitable through the computed field parameter, and is classified under CWE-94 (Code Injection). It received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to its potential for significant impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The vulnerability can be exploited remotely over the network by unauthenticated attackers (PR:N) with low complexity (AC:L), though it requires user interaction (UI:R), such as tricking a user into performing a specific action. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary code execution on the server, granting attackers high-level control over the affected system without changing scope (S:U).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.

Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.

Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).

PR.DS-10 none match
prevents

PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

prevents

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.

none

Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
