Summary
CVE-2025-5965 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 2% 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.

CVE-2025-5965 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability, classified under CWE-78, affecting the Backup configuration in the administration setup modules of Centreon Infra Monitoring. A high-privilege user can concatenate custom instructions to the backup parameters, enabling arbitrary OS command execution. The vulnerability impacts versions from 25.10.0 before 25.10.2, from 24.10.0 before 24.10.15, and from 24.04.0 before 24.04.19. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and was published on 2026-01-05.
Exploitation requires a high-privilege (PR:H) account, accessible over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). An attacker with such access can inject and execute arbitrary OS commands via the backup setup, achieving high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H) in an unchanged scope (S:U).
Centreon advisories recommend mitigation through patching. Official release notes at https://github.com/centreon/centreon/releases detail fixes in versions 25.10.2, 24.10.15, and 24.04.19. Additional guidance is available in the security bulletin at https://thewatch.centreon.com/latest-security-bulletins-64/cve-2025-5965-centreon-web-high-severity-5362.

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).
