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
Powered BLUE 870 versions 0.20130927 and prior contain an OS command injection vulnerability. If this vulnerability is exploited, arbitrary OS commands may be executed on the affected 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

Powered BLUE 870 versions 0.20130927 and prior contains an OS command injection vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the affected device, likely through unsanitized user input being passed to system shell calls.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of Powered BLUE 870 if available. If no patch exists, implement strict input validation and replace vulnerable system call implementations with secure API alternatives that avoid shell interpretation.

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 product and version
    Locate the Powered BLUE 870 application and determine its installed version number. Check application documentation, about page, or version file for the exact version string.
    Affected if The installed version is 0.20130927 or any version prior to it.
  2. Verify authentication is in use
    Confirm whether authentication is enabled for the Powered BLUE 870 interface. Check user accounts, login configuration, or session management settings.
    Affected if Authenticated access to the application is possible, as this CVE requires authentication to exploit.
  3. Identify user input mechanisms
    Locate any features that accept user-supplied input and pass it to backend system calls. Look for forms, API endpoints, or configuration options that accept parameters.
    Affected if User input fields or parameters exist that could be processed by system shell calls.
  4. Check system call implementation
    If access to application source or configuration is available, inspect code that invokes system shell commands. Look for patterns where user input is concatenated directly into shell commands without sanitization.
    Affected if User-provided input is passed directly to system shell execution functions without input validation or use of secure API alternatives.

If the installed version is 0.20130927 or earlier and the application exposes user input functionality to authenticated users, the environment is likely affected by this command injection vulnerability.
