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
Improper neutralization of argument delimiters in a command ('argument injection') vulnerability in TUBITAK BILGEM Software Technologies Research Institute pardus-software allows Argument Injection. This issue affects pardus-software: from <= 1.0.4 before 1.0.5.

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

Argument injection vulnerability in pardus-software allows attackers to inject arbitrary command arguments due to improper neutralization of argument delimiters. The vulnerability exists in versions <=1.0.4 and is fixed in version 1.0.5. The high CVSS score indicates successful exploitation could allow arbitrary command execution.

MitigationUpgrade pardus-software to version 1.0.5 or later to remediate this vulnerability. If immediate upgrade is not possible, implement input validation and sanitization on any user-controlled data passed to system commands.

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. Check if pardus-software is installed
    Run 'dpkg -l pardus-software' or 'rpm -qa | grep pardus-software' depending on your package manager, or look for the binary in common locations like /usr/bin/pardus-software
    Affected if The package or binary exists on the system
  2. Determine installed version
    Run 'pardus-software --version' or 'dpkg -l pardus-software' to retrieve the exact version number
    Affected if The installed version is 1.0.4 or lower
  3. Identify command execution paths
    Review application logs, configuration files, or source code (if accessible) to locate where system commands are invoked and if user-supplied input is passed as arguments
    Affected if User-controlled data is passed to system command execution without proper sanitization
  4. Check for argument delimiter injection points
    Examine input handling code or API endpoints that feed into command execution routines, looking for places where shell metacharacters (like ; | & $ `) could be injected into command arguments
    Affected if Input validation is missing or insufficient on arguments passed to executed commands

A user is affected if pardus-software version 1.0.4 or lower is installed AND user-supplied input can reach system command execution without sanitization of argument delimiters.

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

Upgrade pardus-software to version 1.0.5 or later to remediate this vulnerability. If immediate upgrade is not possible, implement input validation and sanitization on any user-controlled data passed to system commands.

Recommended fix High confidence

1.0.5

  1. Verify current installed version of pardus-software using: dpkg -l | grep pardus-software or rpm -qa | grep pardus-software
  2. Backup any custom configurations or data associated with pardus-software
  3. Update package repository metadata: sudo apt-get update (for Debian-based) or sudo dnf check-update (for Fedora-based)
  4. Upgrade pardus-software to version 1.0.5 using: sudo apt-get install pardus-software=1.0.5 or sudo dnf upgrade pardus-software-1.0.5
  5. Verify the installed version matches 1.0.5 using: dpkg -l | grep pardus-software or rpm -qa | grep pardus-software
  6. Restart any services or daemons dependent on pardus-software if applicable
  7. Test that pardus-software functions correctly after upgrade
