CVE-2025-24817
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 · uneditedNokia MantaRay NM is vulnerable to an OS command injection vulnerability due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command in Symptom Collector application.
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 confidenceNokia MantaRay NM's Symptom Collector application is vulnerable to OS command injection due to improper neutralization of special elements in OS commands. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the affected device by injecting malicious command sequences through user-supplied input that gets passed to system call functions.

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 the installed Nokia MantaRay NM versionLocate the NM installation directory and check the version manifest or version file. Common locations include /opt/nm, /usr/local/nm, or the installation root directory. Look for version information in files named version, ver.info, or similar.Affected if The installed version is any release prior to 25r1-nm (for example, 24r2, 24r1, or earlier releases).
-
Confirm the Symptom Collector application is presentCheck if the Symptom Collector module or application is installed on the NM system. Look for directories or binaries related to 'symptom', 'collector', or 'nm-collector' within the NM installation path.Affected if The Symptom Collector application exists on the system, indicating the vulnerable component is present.
-
Determine if Symptom Collector is enabled or configuredReview the NM configuration files for settings that enable or activate the Symptom Collector feature. Check configuration files in /config, /etc/nm, or the NM home directory for entries like 'symptom_collector_enabled', 'collector_mode', or similar toggles.Affected if The Symptom Collector feature is enabled or actively configured in the NM setup.
-
Inspect user input pathways to Symptom CollectorExamine NM configuration or log files that show how user-supplied data reaches the Symptom Collector. Look for parameters, input fields, or API endpoints that feed data to the collector functionality.Affected if User-supplied input can be passed directly to the Symptom Collector without sanitization, which would enable command injection.
A system is affected if it runs any version of Nokia MantaRay NM prior to 25r1-nm and has the Symptom Collector application enabled with user input pathways that can reach OS command execution functions.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scoped25r1-nm
Implement strict input validation and use parameterized APIs or safe library functions instead of constructing OS commands from user input. If OS command execution is unavoidable, employ allowlist-based validation and avoid passing unsanitized user input to shell interpreters.
25r1-nm
- Obtain the Nokia MantaRay NM version 25r1-nm or later from Nokia's official distribution channels
- Review Nokia's official upgrade documentation for MantaRay NM before proceeding
- Back up current MantaRay NM configuration and data according to Nokia backup procedures
- Apply the upgrade to MantaRay NM following Nokia's standard upgrade process
- After upgrade, verify the Symptom Collector application is functioning correctly
- Confirm the vulnerability is resolved by checking that command injection is no longer possible in the Symptom Collector
