PingTools Network Utilities 4.64 - OS command injection through Watcher ICMP host

03 Exploitation and scoring

Exploitation
Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
SSVC decision
  • ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
  • AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
  • Technical ImpacttotalSuccessful exploitation gives total control of the vulnerable component.
CISA publishes the decision points, not a final SSVC decision. The decision also depends on mission and well-being impact, which is a property of your deployment rather than of the vulnerability.
EPSS probability
3.44% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
EPSS percentile
Equal to or higher than the score of 88.8% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
NVD base score
8.6 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.

07 Remediation

Replace the sh -c execution path with a process API that accepts an argument list and preserves the validated Host as one argument. Validate Host as a supported DNS name or IPv4/IPv6 address in both the Watcher editor and backup-import path, reject shell syntax, whitespace and option-like input, add regression tests, backport the correction, and upgrade to the first fixed release when it becomes available. Until then, do not import untrusted Watcher backups and do not enter untrusted values in Watcher ICMP Host fields.
