CVE-2025-20014
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 · uneditedmySCADA myPRO does not properly neutralize POST requests sent to a specific port with version information. This vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system.
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 · moderate confidenceCommand injection vulnerability in mySCADA myPRO where POST requests to a specific port handling version information are not properly sanitized, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system.

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.
-
Confirm mySCADA myPRO installationSearch for myPRO installation directories or check for mySCADA processes running on the system (e.g., look for processes named 'myPRO', 'myscada', or check common installation paths such as C:\Program Files\mySCADA or /opt/myscada)Affected if mySCADA myPRO is found installed on the system
-
Identify installed myPRO versionCheck the version information - typically available in the installation directory, in a README file, or via the myPRO admin interface. Common locations include a 'version.txt' file or the program's properties in the installation folderAffected if The installed version cannot be confirmed as patched or is unknown
-
Locate the version information service portmyPRO typically exposes HTTP-based services on ports 8080, 8443, or 18881. Review myPRO configuration files (often in the config directory) to identify which port handles version information requestsAffected if A myPRO service port is found listening and responding to requests
-
Test unauthenticated access to version endpointSend a POST request to the identified port's version endpoint (commonly /api/version or similar path handling version queries) without providing credentials. Use a tool like curl: curl -X POST http://target:port/api/versionAffected if The endpoint accepts unauthenticated POST requests and returns version information, indicating the service is exposed without authentication
-
Verify command injection possibilitySend a crafted POST request with shell metacharacters in the version parameter (e.g., |whoami or ;ls) to the version endpoint. Observe if the response includes command output or if the application exhibits unexpected behaviorAffected if The response contains output from injected commands or the application behavior changes based on injected input, confirming the vulnerability exists
If mySCADA myPRO is installed with its version information service port exposed and accepting unauthenticated POST requests, the system is likely affected by this command injection vulnerability.

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.
From vendor dataImplement proper input validation and sanitization on the affected service endpoint, apply network segmentation to restrict access to the vulnerable port, and apply vendor-supplied patches when available.
