Deeper analysis
A critical vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-7097 affects Comodo Internet Security Premium version 12.3.4.8162 in the Manifest File Handler component. The issue stems from improper handling of the cis_update_x64.xml file, where manipulation of the binary/params argument enables OS command injection, corresponding to CWE-77 and CWE-78. The flaw carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.2 with a network attack vector, high attack complexity, and no required privileges or user interaction.
Remote attackers can exploit the weakness to execute arbitrary operating system commands, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the target system. Although exploitation is rated as difficult due to the high complexity involved, a public proof-of-concept has been disclosed, increasing the practical risk for affected installations.
