CVE-2025-65074
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 · uneditedWaveView client allows users to execute restricted set of predefined commands and scripts on the connected WaveStore Server. A malicious attacker with high-privileges is able to execute arbitrary OS commands on the server using path traversal in the showerr script. This issue was fixed in version 6.44.44
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 confidenceThe WaveView client provides a restricted command interface to the connected WaveStore Server. A path traversal vulnerability in the showerr script allows authenticated high-privilege users to bypass command restrictions and execute arbitrary OS commands on the server.

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 Wavestore Server versionLocate and read the WaveStore Server version information (typically accessible via the server admin interface, about page, or version file in the installation directory)Affected if The installed version is 6.42.4 or any earlier version (versions greater than 6.42.4 are not affected)
-
Locate the showerr scriptSearch the WaveStore Server installation for a script file named 'showerr' (the vulnerability exists in this specific script)Affected if The showerr script is present and executable on the server
-
Verify restricted command interface is enabledCheck if the WaveView client restricted command interface is configured and active for the WaveStore Server connectionAffected if The restricted command interface feature is enabled and accessible to users
-
Identify high-privilege accountsReview user accounts with elevated privileges on the WaveStore Server (these accounts, if authenticated, can exploit the vulnerability)Affected if High-privilege user accounts exist that have access to the restricted command interface
Your environment is affected if the WaveStore Server version is 6.42.4 or earlier AND the showerr script is present AND high-privilege accounts can access the restricted command interface.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scopedUpgrade WaveView client to version 6.44.44 or later. Until patched, strictly limit access to high-privilege accounts and monitor for anomalous command execution patterns.
6.44.44
- Identify all WaveView/WaveStore servers running Video Management Software version 6.42.4 or earlier
- Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade process
- Download the WaveView/WaveStore Video Management Software version 6.44.44 from the official vendor (wavestore.com)
- Backup the current server configuration and database
- Stop the WaveView/WaveStore services
- Install version 6.44.44 of the Video Management Software
- Verify the installation was successful
- Restart the WaveView/WaveStore services
