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 service of iSherlock from HGiga has an OS Command Injection vulnerability, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary OS commands and execute them on the server.

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

The HGiga iSherlock web service contains an OS command injection vulnerability that permits unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary operating system commands, which are then executed on the server with the privileges of the web service process.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied patches immediately; if unavailable, disable the affected web service and implement strict input validation with allowlist filtering on all user-supplied parameters before any system call 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. Confirm HGiga iSherlock installation
    Search the system for iSherlock binaries, services, or installed components. Check installed programs list, service names, or application directories for 'iSherlock' or 'HGiga' branding.
    Affected if HGiga iSherlock software is present on the system
  2. Identify iSherlock version
    Check the installed version of iSherlock using vendor-provided commands, configuration files, or the application's about/help section. Compare the version string against any publicly disclosed affected version ranges.
    Affected if The installed version falls within the affected version range for CVE-2025-3362
  3. Verify web service component is enabled
    Check if the iSherlock web service (HTTP/HTTPS listener) is configured and running. Look for service configurations, listening ports, or web server settings associated with iSherlock.
    Affected if The iSherlock web service component is actively running and accessible
  4. Confirm web service is network-exposed
    Review firewall rules, network bindings, and service listening addresses to determine if the iSherlock web service is reachable from network clients rather than local-only access.
    Affected if The web service listens on non-loopback interfaces or has firewall rules allowing external access
  5. Inspect web service authentication settings
    Examine iSherlock web service configuration files or authentication settings to verify whether the vulnerable endpoint permits unauthenticated access.
    Affected if The web service endpoint permits unauthenticated requests without requiring valid credentials

The environment is affected if HGiga iSherlock with a vulnerable version is installed and its web service component is running and network-accessible without authentication.
