Summary
CVE-2025-5946 is a high-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Centreon Centreon Web. Its CVSS base score is 7.2 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 4% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
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.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-5946 is an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in Centreon Infra Monitoring that affects the poller reload setup within the configuration modules. On the poller parameters page, insufficient neutralization of special elements allows an attacker to inject commands into the reload process. The flaw impacts versions 24.10.0 through 24.10.12, 24.04.0 through 24.04.17, and 23.10.0 through 23.10.27, and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.2.
A user with high privileges can exploit the issue over the network by appending arbitrary instructions to the poller reload command, resulting in execution of operating system commands with the potential for full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the affected host.
Centreon has published fixes in the referenced GitHub releases and security bulletin, which address the affected branches by updating to 24.10.13, 24.04.18, and 23.10.28 or later. The current EPSS score of 0.3233 with a peak of 0.3379 does not indicate a material rise from a low baseline.

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'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.
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).
