CVE-2025-64989
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 · uneditedA command injection vulnerability was discovered in TeamViewer DEX (former 1E DEX), specifically within the 1E-Explorer-TachyonCore-FindFileBySizeAndHash instruction prior V21.1. Improper input validation, allowing authenticated attackers with Actioner privileges to inject arbitrary commands. Exploitation enables remote execution of elevated commands on devices connected to the platform.
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 · high confidenceThis is a command injection vulnerability in TeamViewer DEX's TachyonCore component, specifically in the FindFileBySizeAndHash instruction prior to version 21.1. The vulnerability stems from improper input validation that allows authenticated attackers with Actioner privileges to inject arbitrary OS commands, which are then executed with elevated privileges on managed devices.

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 TeamViewer DEX installationLocate TeamViewer DEX installation directories or check installed programs listing for TeamViewer Digital Employee Experience or Tachyon componentsAffected if TeamViewer DEX is installed and the version is below 21.1
-
Check TachyonCore versionUse system inventory or software enumeration tools to identify the installed version of TachyonCore or the parent DEX application; compare against the affected range (versions prior to 21.1)Affected if The installed TachyonCore or DEX version is lower than 21.1
-
Verify FindFileBySizeAndHash instruction availabilityCheck if the Tachyon instruction set includes the FindFileBySizeAndHash command; consult TachyonCore documentation or enumerate available instructionsAffected if The FindFileBySizeAndHash instruction is present and accessible in the environment
-
Review Actioner privilege assignmentsExamine user role configurations in the TeamViewer DEX administration console or user management settings to identify accounts granted Actioner privilegesAffected if Any user account possesses Actioner privileges, particularly untrusted or external accounts
A system is affected if TeamViewer DEX with TachyonCore version below 21.1 is installed, the FindFileBySizeAndHash instruction is available, and users with Actioner privileges exist in the environment.

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 · scoped21.1
Upgrade to TachyonCore version 21.1 or later where the input validation has been properly implemented. Additionally, restrict Actioner privileges to only trusted users and monitor for suspicious command execution patterns.
21.1
- Upgrade Digital Employee Experience (DEX) to version 21.1 or later to remediate the command injection vulnerability in the 1E-Explorer-TachyonCore-FindFileBySizeAndHash instruction
