CVE-2026-3692: CWE-78 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in Progress Software Flowmon
CVE-2026-3692 is a high-severity OS command injection vulnerability in Progress Software Flowmon versions prior to 12. 5. 8. It allows an authenticated low-privileged user to craft a malicious request during report generation that can execute unintended commands on the server. This vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in OS commands (CWE-78). No known exploits are reported in the wild. There is no explicit vendor advisory or patch information provided, so patch status is not confirmed.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Progress Software Flowmon versions before 12.5.8 contain an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) that can be triggered by an authenticated user with low privileges during the report generation process. This flaw allows execution of unintended OS commands on the server, potentially leading to system compromise or unauthorized actions. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
An authenticated low-privileged user can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary OS commands on the server hosting Flowmon. This could lead to unauthorized system control, data compromise, or disruption of service. The high CVSS score reflects significant potential impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed—check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the report generation functionality to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to report requests. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to users who can generate reports.
