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
Kieback&Peter Neutrino-GLT product is used for building management. It's web component "SM70 PHWEB" is vulnerable to shell command injection via login form. The injected commands would execute with low privileges. The vulnerability has been fixed in version 9.40.02

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 SM70 PHWEB web component of Kieback&Peter Neutrino-GLT building management system contains a shell command injection vulnerability in the login form. Attackers can inject arbitrary OS commands through the login parameters, which execute on the underlying system with low privilege access.

MitigationUpdate the Neutrino-GLT product to version 9.40.02 or later to apply the vendor fix. As a defense-in-depth measure, restrict network access to the SM70 PHWEB interface and monitor for suspicious login patterns until patching is completed.

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 Neutrino-GLT installation
    Locate the Kieback&Peter Neutrino-GLT installation directory or check system services for the Neutrino-GLT or PHWEB components. On Windows, check Program Files; on Linux, check common application directories like /opt or /usr/local.
    Affected if The Neutrino-GLT software with SM70 PHWEB component is found on the system
  2. Check Neutrino-GLT version
    Look for version information in the software installation, typically in an About dialog, version file, or configuration files within the Neutrino-GLT installation directory. Compare the installed version against the fixed version 9.40.02.
    Affected if The installed version is earlier than 9.40.02 or the version cannot be determined
  3. Verify SM70 PHWEB is enabled
    Check if the SM70 PHWEB web interface component is configured and running. This is typically accessible via HTTP/HTTPS on a specific port. Verify the web service is active and accessible.
    Affected if The SM70 PHWEB web interface is exposed and running
  4. Check network exposure
    Determine if the PHWEB interface is accessible from network segments beyond the local network. Review firewall rules, NAT configurations, or reverse proxy settings that expose the web interface.
    Affected if The SM70 PHWEB interface is accessible from untrusted networks or the internet
  5. Review authentication logs
    Examine Neutrino-GLT and web server logs for unusual login patterns, failed authentication attempts with special characters in usernames, or unexpected command executions around the time of login events.
    Affected if Logs show login attempts containing shell metacharacters or unexpected command execution traces

A system is affected if it runs Neutrino-GLT with the SM70 PHWEB component at a version earlier than 9.40.02 and has the web interface exposed.

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

Update the Neutrino-GLT product to version 9.40.02 or later to apply the vendor fix. As a defense-in-depth measure, restrict network access to the SM70 PHWEB interface and monitor for suspicious login patterns until patching is completed.

Recommended fix High confidence

9.40.02

  1. Identify the current version of the Kieback&Peter Neutrino-GLT SM70 PHWEB component
  2. Obtain the fixed version 9.40.02 from Kieback&Peter
  3. Upgrade the SM70 PHWEB component to version 9.40.02
  4. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the component version
  5. Test the login form functionality to confirm the command injection vulnerability is resolved
  6. Ensure the upgrade is deployed in accordance with Kieback&Peter's documentation and change management procedures
