CVE-2025-64120
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 · uneditedImproper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability in Nuvation Energy Multi-Stack Controller (MSC) allows OS Command Injection.This issue affects Multi-Stack Controller (MSC): from 2.3.8 before 2.5.1.
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 confidenceOS Command Injection vulnerability in Nuvation Energy Multi-Stack Controller (MSC) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands due to improper neutralization of special elements in user-supplied input. The vulnerability affects versions from 2.3.8 before 2.5.1, and successful exploitation could allow complete compromise of the controller.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Nplatform versionLocate the installed version of Nuvation Energy Nplatform or Multi-Stack Controller (MSC) through its web management interface, system information page, or firmware metadata. This is typically found under About, System Info, or Diagnostics sections of the MSC web UI.Affected if The installed version is 2.3.8, 2.4.x, or any version >= 2.3.8 but lower than 2.5.1
-
Verify MSC web interface accessibilityDetermine if the MSC web management interface is reachable over the network. Check if port 80/443 or the MSC HTTP service is exposed to network segments that are not strictly controlled.Affected if The MSC management interface is accessible from network segments that include untrusted or attacker-controlled systems
-
Check for input handling exposureIdentify which MSC functions accept user-supplied input that could be passed to operating system commands. Common areas include configuration parameters, diagnostics tools, or troubleshooting features that invoke system utilities.Affected if User-controllable input fields exist in the MSC interface that could be processed by system command interpreters
-
Assess network segmentationReview network topology to determine whether the MSC is isolated from untrusted networks or if it shares network segments with less-trusted systems.Affected if The MSC management interface is on a network segment accessible from broader corporate or external networks without proper firewall or access control boundaries
You are affected if your Nplatform/MSC version is 2.3.8 or any version from 2.4.0 through 2.5.0 and the MSC management interface is network-accessible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2.5.1
Upgrade Multi-Stack Controller (MSC) to version 2.5.1 or later to remediate this vulnerability. If immediate patching is not possible, implement network segmentation and restrict access to the MSC management interfaces.
Nplatform 2.5.1 or later
- Identify current Nplatform/MSC version by checking the system interface or running: version check command
- Backup current configuration and data before upgrading
- Download Nplatform version 2.5.1 or later from the vendor (Nuvation Energy)
- Apply the upgrade following the vendor's standard upgrade procedure, typically: systemctl stop ms-controller, run upgrade installer, systemctl start ms-controller
- Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number and ensuring all services are running
- Test critical functionality to confirm the OS command injection vulnerability is resolved
