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 web application allows user input to pass unfiltered to a command executed on the underlying operating system. An attacker with high privileged access (administrator) to the application has the potential execute commands on the operating system under the context of the webserver. The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends up to and including the entire Internet. Has the potential to inject command while creating a new User from User Management.

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

This is an OS command injection vulnerability in the web application's User Management module. When creating a new user, the application passes administrator-supplied input directly to an operating system command without sanitization, allowing arbitrary command execution under the webserver's privileges.

MitigationImplement strict input validation with allow-lists and refactor code to avoid constructing OS commands from user input; if OS commands are unavoidable, use parameterized methods or existing libraries rather than shell execution.

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 Nokia Wavesuite Noc version
    Locate the installed version of Nokia Wavesuite Noc in the system documentation, software inventory, or application about page. Check the application binaries or deployment configuration files for version information.
    Affected if The installed version matches exactly 23.6, 23.12, or 24.6
  2. Confirm User Management function is accessible
    Verify that the User Management module or function is enabled and accessible in the Wavesuite Noc web interface. Log into the application and navigate to the user creation or administration section.
    Affected if The User Management feature is enabled and operational in the web application
  3. Inspect user creation endpoint
    Review the web application configuration or access logs for the user creation functionality. Identify the backend handler or API endpoint responsible for processing new user requests.
    Affected if The application processes user creation requests through a backend that interacts with the operating system
  4. Check webserver user context
    Determine the operating system user account under which the web application or application server runs. Review process listings or service configurations.
    Affected if The webserver runs with elevated privileges or privileges that could allow command execution beyond intended scope

A user is affected if their Nokia Wavesuite Noc installation is version 23.6, 23.12, or 24.6 AND the User Management function is accessible, as the vulnerability allows OS command injection during user creation.

Mitigation

Implement strict input validation with allow-lists and refactor code to avoid constructing OS commands from user input; if OS commands are unavoidable, use parameterized methods or existing libraries rather than shell execution.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

24.12 or later stable release

  1. 1. Obtain the latest stable release of Wavesuite Noc from Nokia's official support channels (www.nokia.com)
  2. 2. Review the release notes for version 24.12 or later to confirm inclusion of the CVE-2025-24938 security fix
  3. 3. Create a full backup of the current Wavesuite Noc configuration and database
  4. 4. Schedule a maintenance window as the upgrade may require service interruption
  5. 5. Execute the upgrade following the official Nokia upgrade documentation
  6. 6. Verify the upgrade was successful by logging into the web interface
  7. 7. Test the User Management functionality to ensure normal operation after upgrade
  8. 8. Confirm the underlying OS no longer accepts command injection via the user creation endpoint
Caveat Upgrade may require service downtime; review Nokia's migration guide for any configuration changes needed
