NVD · unedited
CWE-78 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

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 (CWE-78) with CVSS 9.8 (Critical). Allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands due to improper neutralization of special elements used in OS command execution.

MitigationReplace unsafe command execution with parameterized APIs or implement strict allowlist input validation; audit all user-controlled inputs in command execution paths.

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 Maxum Rumpus is installed
    Identify Maxum Rumpus installation by checking common installation directories (e.g., /Applications on macOS, C:\Program Files on Windows) or running 'ps' / task manager for the running process
    Affected if Maxum Rumpus is installed and running on the system
  2. Check installed version
    Run the Rumpus application or check its About/Version information panel, or query the installed package if installed via package manager
    Affected if Version is exactly 9.0.12
  3. Verify web service is enabled
    Check if Rumpus web service or FTP service is running by inspecting running services/process list, and verify the web interface port is listening (commonly port 8080 or 443)
    Affected if Web or FTP service is active and accepting connections
  4. Check network exposure
    Review firewall rules and network configuration to determine if the Rumpus service port is accessible from untrusted networks
    Affected if Service is exposed to untrusted networks or the internet without proper access controls
  5. Identify vulnerable input paths
    Inspect Rumpus configuration to identify which user input fields or parameters can interact with system commands (e.g., file upload, filename, or custom command features)
    Affected if Features accepting user-supplied input that could reach system command execution paths are enabled

A user is affected if Maxum Rumpus version 9.0.12 is installed with network-accessible services and user input can reach system command execution functions.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Replace unsafe command execution with parameterized APIs or implement strict allowlist input validation; audit all user-controlled inputs in command execution paths.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Latest available version of Rumpus (contact vendor for specific version number post-fix)

  1. 1. Check the current installed version of Rumpus to confirm it is version 9.0.12
  2. 2. Identify the vendor's official channels for security updates (vendor website, security advisories, or contact support)
  3. 3. Obtain and apply the latest security patch or updated version released by the Rumpus vendor after the disclosure of CVE-2025-55055
  4. 4. Verify the remediation by checking that the command injection vulnerability is no longer present
  5. 5. Test the Rumpus service to ensure normal functionality after the update
Caveat Review vendor release notes for any changes in functionality or configuration requirements
