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
A Remote Code Execution vulnerability in Claris FileMaker Cloud allowed a user with Admin Console privileges to inject arbitrary operating system commands through unsanitized input in the External ODBC Data Source connection test feature. This issue is fixed in FileMaker Cloud 2.22.0.5.

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 · high confidence

A Remote Code Execution vulnerability in Claris FileMaker Cloud allows an authenticated Admin Console user to inject arbitrary operating system commands through unsanitized input in the External ODBC Data Source connection test feature. This is a command injection vulnerability requiring administrative privileges.

MitigationUpgrade to FileMaker Cloud 2.22.0.5 or later. Until patched, restrict Admin Console access to fully trusted users only and consider network isolation of the management interface.

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 FileMaker Cloud is deployed
    Check your environment for installations of Claris FileMaker Cloud. Look for the FileMaker Cloud service or consult your infrastructure inventory.
    Affected if FileMaker Cloud is not present in the environment, this CVE does not apply.
  2. Identify the installed version
    Access the Admin Console or check the FileMaker Cloud version information. The version is typically displayed in the Admin Console dashboard or can be retrieved via the product's built-in about/version information.
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 2.22.0.5, placing it within the affected range.
  3. Verify Admin Console accessibility
    Confirm whether the Admin Console web interface is accessible. Check if the management port (typically port 443 or configured custom port) is exposed and reachable.
    Affected if The Admin Console is accessible to untrusted or unauthorized users, the command injection vulnerability could be exploited by such users.
  4. Check External ODBC Data Source configuration
    In the Admin Console, navigate to the External ODBC Data Sources section. Examine whether any ODBC data sources are configured or if the connection test feature is available.
    Affected if The External ODBC Data Source feature is enabled and configured, the vulnerable connection test function is present and exploitable.
  5. Review Admin Console user accounts
    Audit the list of users with Admin Console access. Identify accounts that have administrative privileges to the Admin Console.
    Affected if There are Admin Console users with privileges, they would have the capability to exploit this command injection flaw.

You are affected if FileMaker Cloud versions below 2.22.0.5 are installed AND the Admin Console with External ODBC Data Source functionality is accessible to authenticated administrative users.
