CVE Identifier: CVE-2025-69600

Affected products: RayVentory Scan Engine 12.6 Update 8 and previous versions.

Description

The RayVentory Inventory Agent (rvia) was vulnerable to command injection attacks due to improper sanitization of input parameters passed to external system commands.

Technical Details

  • Vulnerability Type: CWE-77 (Command Injection)
  • Attack Vector: Local
  • Impact: Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE)
  • Mechanism: The agent used unsafe system() and popen() calls to execute shell commands. Input tokens (e.g., hardware serial numbers or file metadata) were not properly escaped, allowing shell metacharacters (;, &, |) to be interpreted as command separators or redirections.
