CVE-2025-10035: CWE-77 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection') in Fortra GoAnywhere MFT
A deserialization vulnerability in the License Servlet of Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT allows an actor with a validly forged license response signature to deserialize an arbitrary actor-controlled object, possibly leading to command injection.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves improper neutralization of special elements used in a command (CWE-77) combined with insecure deserialization (CWE-502) in the License Servlet component of Fortra GoAnywhere MFT. An attacker with a validly forged license response signature can supply a malicious serialized object, which the application deserializes without sufficient validation, enabling command injection. This can lead to full system compromise due to the high privileges and remote exploitability indicated by the CVSS vector.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system, resulting in full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the GoAnywhere MFT server. This can lead to data theft, system control, and denial of service.
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch or official fix information is currently available. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, restrict network access to the License Servlet, monitor for suspicious license response signatures, and avoid using untrusted license files.
