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
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability in Honeywell MB-Secure allows Privilege Abuse. This issue affects MB-Secure: from V11.04 before V12.53 and MB-Secure PRO from V01.06 before V03.09.Honeywell also recommends updating to the most recent version of this product.

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 confidence

OS Command Injection vulnerability in Honeywell MB-Secure allows attackers to inject malicious OS commands through improper neutralization of special elements, leading to privilege abuse. This affects MB-Secure versions V11.04 through V12.52 and MB-Secure PRO versions V01.06 through V03.08.

MitigationUpdate MB-Secure to V12.53 or later and MB-Secure PRO to V03.09 or later per vendor recommendations. Apply in a staging environment first to verify compatibility.

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 the installed MB-Secure firmware version
    Log into the MB-Secure web management interface and navigate to System > Status or System > Information to view the firmware version. Alternatively, check the firmware version displayed on the login page or in the system overview dashboard.
    Affected if The displayed version falls within the vulnerable ranges: V11.04 through V12.52 for MB-Secure, or V01.06 through V03.08 for MB-Secure PRO.
  2. Confirm the firmware type (Standard or PRO)
    Verify whether your installation is MB-Secure Standard or MB-Secure PRO, as each has different version ranges. This information is typically visible in the system information page or the product licensing details within the web interface.
    Affected if You cannot distinguish between Standard and PRO variants, making it impossible to determine the correct vulnerable version range.
  3. Compare version against affected ranges
    Check if the installed firmware version is: MB-Secure versions V11.04 through V12.52 (exclusive of V12.53), or MB-Secure PRO versions V01.06 through V03.08 (exclusive of V03.09).
    Affected if The installed version is greater than or equal to 11.04 and less than 12.53 for Standard, or greater than or equal to 01.06 and less than 03.09 for PRO.
  4. Verify web management interface accessibility
    Determine if the MB-Secure web management interface is accessible from the network. The command injection vulnerability is exploitable through the web interface. Check if port 80/443 or the configured web service port is exposed.
    Affected if The web interface is accessible and the firmware version falls within the affected ranges listed above.

You are affected if your MB-Secure firmware version is V11.04 through V12.52 (Standard) or V01.06 through V03.08 (PRO) and the web management interface is accessible.
