Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Akeneo PIM CE and EE <1.6.6, <1.5.15, <1.4.28 are vulnerable to shell injection in the mass edition, resulting in remote execution.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis
How this class of weakness works · CWE-78

User input reaches a shell or system command without being fully separated from the command itself, so an attacker can append their own instructions. Because these run with the application's privileges, it often means full control of the host. The lasting fix is to avoid the shell entirely — call APIs directly and pass arguments as data, never as concatenated strings.

Recommended fix High confidence

Akeneo PIM 1.4.28 (or latest stable 1.4.x release)

  1. Confirm current Akeneo PIM installation version by checking the version file or admin interface
  2. Review the Akeneo PIM 1.4.28 release notes and changelog for bug fixes related to shell injection in mass edition
  3. Review upgrade documentation for moving from 1.4.x to 1.4.28: https://docs.akeneo.com/
  4. Take a complete backup of the database and files before upgrading
  5. Ensure the server meets the requirements for version 1.4.28
  6. Upgrade Akeneo PIM to version 1.4.28 or the latest stable 1.4.x release using the standard upgrade procedure
  7. Verify the mass edition functionality works correctly after upgrade
  8. Test that the command injection vulnerability is no longer present
Caveat Review 1.4.28 release notes for any breaking changes; minor version upgrades typically have low risk but test thoroughly in staging first
