CVE-2025-10239
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 · uneditedIn Flowmon versions prior to 12.5.5, a vulnerability has been identified that allows a user with administrator privileges and access to the management interface to execute additional unintended commands within scripts intended for troubleshooting purposes.
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 confidenceAuthenticated command injection vulnerability in Flowmon versions prior to 12.5.5. A user with administrator privileges and access to the management interface can execute arbitrary commands through scripts intended for troubleshooting purposes.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Flowmon installation versionCheck the installed Flowmon version through the management interface (typically found in About or System Information section) or by running 'flowmon -v' or checking /opt/flowmon/version if those paths exist in your installationAffected if The installed version is below 12.5.5
-
Confirm management interface is accessibleVerify that the Flowmon web management interface (typically on port 443 or 8080) is reachable on the networkAffected if The management interface is exposed and accessible from network segments where untrusted users could connect
-
Review administrator accountsList all users with administrator-level privileges in Flowmon (via Users or Access Control settings in the management interface)Affected if There are administrator accounts accessible to untrusted or compromised users
-
Locate troubleshooting scriptsSearch for troubleshooting or diagnostic scripts in the Flowmon installation directory (commonly under /opt/flowmon/scripts or similar paths)Affected if Troubleshooting scripts exist and are executable by administrator users
-
Check for anomalous command executionReview system logs, audit logs, orFlowmon's own logs for unexpected or suspicious commands executed through the management interfaceAffected if Logs show commands executed through troubleshooting scripts that were not initiated by known administrators
The environment is affected if Flowmon version is prior to 12.5.5 AND the management interface with administrator accounts is accessible to users who could exploit the troubleshooting script feature.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to Flowmon version 12.5.5 or later. Restrict administrative access to trusted personnel and monitor for suspicious command execution in troubleshooting scripts.
Flowmon version 12.5.5 or later
- Identify the current Flowmon version by checking the management interface or running 'flowmon -v'
- Backup all critical configurations and data according to Flowmon backup procedures
- Download Flowmon version 12.5.5 or the latest stable version from the official Progress Flowmon download portal
- Log in to the Flowmon management interface with administrator credentials
- Navigate to the Administration or System Updates section
- Upload the upgrade package and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the upgrade
- After upgrade completes, verify the new version is 12.5.5 or later by checking the management interface
- Test that the troubleshooting scripts function correctly without command injection vulnerabilities
