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
Tigo Energy's CCA is vulnerable to a command injection vulnerability in the /cgi-bin/mobile_api endpoint when the DEVICE_PING command is called, allowing remote code execution due to improper handling of user input. When used with default credentials, this enables attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the device that could cause potential unauthorized access, service disruption, and data exposure.

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 confidence

Tigo Energy's CCA contains a command injection vulnerability in the /cgi-bin/mobile_api endpoint when processing the DEVICE_PING command. The application fails to properly sanitize user input before passing it to system shell commands, allowing authenticated attackers (using default credentials) to execute arbitrary operating system commands remotely.

MitigationImplement strict input validation and use parameterized commands or whitelist-based filtering to prevent shell metacharacter injection in the DEVICE_PING command handler. Additionally, change default credentials immediately and disable unused administrative interfaces.

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 Tigo Energy CCA installation
    Identify if the target system is running Tigo Energy's Cloud Connect Advanced (CCA) solution. Check system documentation, device labels, or network inventory for the product name and version.
    Affected if The system is confirmed to be a Tigo Energy CCA device or software installation.
  2. Verify mobile_api endpoint accessibility
    Attempt to access or probe the /cgi-bin/mobile_api endpoint on the affected system using HTTP/HTTPS requests. This may require authentication depending on the configuration.
    Affected if The /cgi-bin/mobile_api endpoint responds and accepts commands, indicating the vulnerable interface is exposed.
  3. Check for default credentials in use
    Review authentication configuration to determine if the system's administrative or API credentials are still set to manufacturer defaults. Attempt login with common default credential pairs if authorized.
    Affected if Default credentials are still active, allowing authenticated access required for exploiting the DEVICE_PING command.
  4. Confirm DEVICE_PING command availability
    If authenticated access is possible, verify that the DEVICE_PING command functionality is present and enabled within the mobile_api interface. This may require examining available API commands or documentation.
    Affected if The DEVICE_PING command is available and can be invoked through the mobile_api endpoint.
  5. Inspect input sanitization in command handling
    Examine how the DEVICE_PING command processes input parameters. If source code or configuration is accessible, review the command handler for lack of input validation or direct shell command construction.
    Affected if User-supplied input in DEVICE_PING is passed directly to system shell calls without proper sanitization or parameterized execution.

A system is affected if it is running Tigo Energy CCA with the mobile_api endpoint exposed, default credentials still active, DEVICE_PING command available, and no input validation implemented in the command handler.
