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
The airPASS from NetVision Information has an OS Command Injection vulnerability, allowing remote attackers with regular privileges to inject and execute arbitrary OS commands.

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

OS Command Injection vulnerability in airPASS from NetVision Information allows remote authenticated attackers with regular (non-privileged) user accounts to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands on the underlying server.

MitigationApply vendor patch immediately. Until then, restrict network access to airPASS, implement strict input validation on all user-supplied parameters, and run the application with least-privilege operating system accounts.

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 airPASS installation
    Locate airPASS application files, binaries, or services on the system. Check for airPASS processes running or airPASS services listening on network ports.
    Affected if airPASS from NetVision Information is installed and running
  2. Identify airPASS version
    Check the installed airPASS version through application files, binary metadata, or the application's version information interface if accessible. Compare against any released patch versions.
    Affected if Version cannot be determined or is earlier than the patched release
  3. Verify network exposure
    Determine if airPASS is accessible from network locations. Check firewall rules, network bindings, and whether the application listens on external interfaces versus localhost only.
    Affected if airPASS is reachable from network or untrusted sources
  4. Review authentication configuration
    Examine airPASS authentication settings and user account configurations to confirm whether regular (non-privileged) user accounts can access the application.
    Affected if Regular authenticated users are permitted access to airPASS
  5. Inspect for command injection indicators
    Review application logs, system logs, and audit logs for unusual commands, shell executions, or suspicious input patterns that may indicate exploitation of the vulnerability.
    Affected if Evidence of unauthorized command execution or abnormal application behavior is found

If airPASS is exposed to network access and allows authentication for regular users, the environment may be affected by this vulnerability.
