Summary
CVE-2026-25512 is a critical-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Group-Office Group Office. Its CVSS base score is 9.4 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 3% 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.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-25512 is a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Group-Office, an enterprise customer relationship management and groupware tool. The flaw affects versions prior to 6.8.150, 25.0.82, and 26.0.5, stemming from the endpoint email/message/tnefAttachmentFromTempFile, which directly concatenates the user-controlled parameter tmp_file into an exec() call without proper sanitization. This enables shell metacharacter injection, classified under CWE-78 (OS Command Injection), with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
An authenticated attacker with low privileges can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary system commands on the server, potentially leading to high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
The vulnerability has been addressed in Group-Office versions 6.8.150, 25.0.82, and 26.0.5. Official advisories and the patching commit are available on the Intermesh/groupoffice GitHub repository, including security advisory GHSA-579w-jvg7-frr4 and commit 6c612deca97a6cd2a1bd4feea0ce7e8e9d907792.

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).
