CVE-2025-9588 is a critical OS Command Injection vulnerability (CWE-78) found in Iron Mountain Archiving Services Inc.'s enVision product, affecting versions prior to build 250563. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in OS commands, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary commands into the operating system shell executed by the application. This flaw enables remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the enVision service without requiring authentication or user interaction. The CVSS v3.1 score of 10.0 reflects the highest severity, indicating that the vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network with no privileges or user interaction needed, and can fully compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. EnVision is an enterprise archiving and information management platform used to store, manage, and retrieve large volumes of sensitive data, often including regulated or confidential information. Exploitation could lead to complete system takeover, data theft, data manipulation, or service disruption. No public exploits are currently known in the wild, but the critical nature and ease of exploitation make this a high-risk vulnerability requiring immediate attention.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability is significant due to the sensitive nature of data managed by enVision, which often includes personal data protected under GDPR and other regulatory frameworks. A successful exploit could lead to unauthorized access to confidential documents, intellectual property theft, and disruption of archiving services critical for compliance and business continuity. The full system compromise potential threatens operational integrity and could result in severe financial penalties, reputational damage, and legal consequences. Given the cross-border nature of many European enterprises and the centralized use of archiving solutions, the impact could cascade across multiple subsidiaries and partners, amplifying the risk and complicating incident response efforts.

Organizations using Iron Mountain enVision should immediately verify their product version and upgrade to version 250563 or later once available. In the absence of an official patch, implement strict network segmentation to isolate enVision servers from untrusted networks and restrict access to trusted administrators only. Employ application-layer firewalls or intrusion prevention systems (IPS) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious command injection patterns targeting enVision interfaces. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on any user-supplied data interfacing with the system, if customization is possible. Monitor logs for unusual command execution or system behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. Additionally, enforce the principle of least privilege for the enVision service account to limit the potential damage of a successful exploit. Prepare incident response plans specifically addressing OS command injection scenarios to enable rapid containment and recovery.
