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
System command injection through Netflow function due to improper input validation, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary system commands. This issue affects Pandora FMS: from 700 through <777.

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 command injection vulnerability exists in the Netflow function of Pandora FMS due to improper input validation. Attackers can inject arbitrary system commands through user-supplied input that is not properly sanitized before being passed to system calls. This affects versions 700 through 777.

MitigationUpgrade Pandora FMS to version 777 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the Netflow function and implement web application firewall rules as a temporary measure.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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. Identify if Pandora FMS is installed
    Look for Pandora FMS installation directories (typically /var/www/pandora, /opt/pandora, or check web server document roots). Check if the Pandora FMS web interface is accessible.
    Affected if Pandora FMS software is found on the system
  2. Check installed Pandora FMS version
    Locate the version file or check the web interface footer for the version number. Common locations: /var/www/pandora/VERSION, /opt/pandora/include/config.php, or access the login page which often displays the version.
    Affected if Version is 700 through 776 (inclusive)
  3. Verify Netflow module is enabled
    Access Pandora FMS admin console, navigate to Netflow settings (typically under Administration > Manage modules or Network > Netflow). Check if Netflow collection and visualization features are configured and active.
    Affected if Netflow functionality is enabled and configured in Pandora FMS
  4. Inspect Netflow configuration for user input handling
    Examine Netflow-related configuration files for parameters that accept user-supplied input (such as filter expressions, IP addresses, or data source names). Look for direct use of these inputs in system() or exec() calls.
    Affected if Netflow configuration allows user-supplied input that could be passed to system commands without sanitization

The environment is affected if Pandora FMS versions 700-776 are installed with the Netflow module enabled and configured.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 777 or later
Fixed in 777
Interim mitigation

Upgrade Pandora FMS to version 777 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the Netflow function and implement web application firewall rules as a temporary measure.

Recommended fix High confidence

Pandora FMS version 777 or later

  1. 1. Backup your current Pandora FMS installation and database before proceeding with the upgrade.
  2. 2. Download the latest Pandora FMS version 777 or later from the official Pandora FMS repository (pandorafms.com).
  3. 3. Stop the Pandora FMS services to ensure no active connections during upgrade.
  4. 4. Follow the official upgrade documentation for Pandora FMS to upgrade from your current version (700-776) to version 777 or later.
  5. 5. After upgrade, verify that the Netflow functionality is working correctly.
  6. 6. Review user access controls and audit logs to ensure no unauthorized access occurred during the vulnerability window.
  7. 7. Monitor the system for any suspicious activity given the critical severity of command injection.
