CVE-2026-5967
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 · uneditedThreatSonar Anti-Ransomware developed by TeamT5 has an Privilege Escalation vulnerability. Authenticated remote attackers with shell access can inject OS commands and execute them with root privileges.
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 confidenceThreatSonar Anti-Ransomware by TeamT5 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability where authenticated remote attackers with existing shell access can inject OS commands that execute with root privileges. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation or authorization controls that allow command injection to bypass normal privilege boundaries.

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 installed ThreatSonar versionLocate the ThreatSonar Anti-Ransomware installation directory and check the version information file, or run the product's version command if available via CLIAffected if The installed version is lower than 4.0.0
-
Confirm remote access is enabledReview the product configuration files or web interface settings to determine whether remote authentication or remote management interfaces are exposedAffected if Remote authentication or remote shell access is enabled and accessible to network attackers
-
Verify privilege configurationExamine the service account or process context under which ThreatSonar runs, checking whether it executes with root or elevated SYSTEM privilegesAffected if The application runs with root or administrator-level privileges
-
Inspect command execution pathwaysReview configuration files, web panels, or API endpoints that accept user input and could be used to invoke OS commandsAffected if User-controllable input fields exist that lack sanitization and are processed by privileged execution contexts
-
Check authorization controlsAudit the access control lists or role-based permissions to determine if low-privileged authenticated users can reach privileged functionsAffected if Authenticated users with limited privileges can access or trigger privileged operations
You are affected if ThreatSonar Anti-Ransomware is installed at a version below 4.0.0, runs with elevated privileges, and exposes any authenticated command execution interface to the network.
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 · scoped4.0.0
Implement strict input validation and sanitization for all user-supplied parameters that could be interpreted as OS commands. Apply principle of least privilege to ensure the application runs with minimal necessary permissions and consider implementing command whitelisting or parameterized execution to prevent arbitrary command injection.
4.0.0
- Upgrade ThreatSonar Anti-Ransomware to version 4.0.0 or later
- After upgrading, verify the installation by checking the product version
- Confirm that the application is running with the updated version using the vendor's version check command or interface
- Test that the command injection vulnerability is no longer present by verifying that input sanitization is working properly
