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
Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in the message processing component of Bitdefender GravityZone Console allows an attacker to pass unsafe commands to the environment. This issue affects: Bitdefender GravityZone Console On-Premise versions prior to 6.29.2-1. Bitdefender GravityZone Cloud Console versions prior to 6.27.2-2.

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 · high confidence

A deserialization vulnerability in the message processing component of Bitdefender GravityZone Console allows attackers to pass unsafe commands to the environment. This is a critical flaw where untrusted data being deserialized enables command injection, potentially leading to remote code execution.

MitigationUpgrade to version 6.29.2-1 or later for On-Premise deployments, or version 6.27.2-2 or later for Cloud deployments. Prioritize patching given the critical CVSS score and potential for complete system compromise.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Bitdefender GravityZone Console presence
    Identify if the Bitdefender GravityZone Console application is installed or running in the environment. This may be visible in installed programs, running services, or as a web application accessible on ports 443 or 8443.
    Affected if GravityZone Console is present and accessible in the environment.
  2. Identify deployment type
    Determine whether the GravityZone deployment is On-Premise or Cloud. Check vendor documentation, hosting environment, or the console login URL for indicators such as custom domain (On-Premise) or Bitdefender-hosted domain (Cloud).
    Affected if Deployment type is On-Premise or Cloud, as version requirements differ.
  3. Check installed version
    Locate the installed version of GravityZone Console. For On-Premise, this is typically visible in the admin dashboard under System > About or in the installer package. For Cloud, the version appears in the console header or settings. Compare the version number to the affected ranges: Cloud < 6.27.2-2, On-Premise < 6.29.2-1.
    Affected if The installed version is below 6.27.2-2 for Cloud deployments or below 6.29.2-1 for On-Premise deployments.
  4. Assess network exposure of management interface
    Verify whether the GravityZone management console is exposed to the internet or accessible from untrusted networks. Check firewall rules, reverse proxy configurations, and access control lists for inbound access to ports 443 or 8443 from external IP ranges.
    Affected if The console is directly accessible from the internet without VPN or strong authentication barriers, increasing exploitability.

A user is affected if GravityZone Console is present and the installed version falls below 6.27.2-2 (Cloud) or 6.29.2-1 (On-Premise), particularly if the management interface is network-accessible.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 6.27.2-2 / 6.29.2-1 or later
Fixed in 6.27.2-26.29.2-1
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to version 6.29.2-1 or later for On-Premise deployments, or version 6.27.2-2 or later for Cloud deployments. Prioritize patching given the critical CVSS score and potential for complete system compromise.

Recommended fix High confidence

GravityZone On-Premise: 6.29.2-1 or later; GravityZone Cloud Console: 6.27.2-2 or later

  1. Identify whether you are using Bitdefender GravityZone On-Premise Console or Cloud Console
  2. For GravityZone On-Premise Console: Upgrade to version 6.29.2-1 or later
  3. For GravityZone Cloud Console: Upgrade to version 6.27.2-2 or later
  4. After upgrade, verify the new version is running by checking the console footer or system information
  5. Confirm the vulnerability is resolved by reviewing release notes or consulting Bitdefender support
