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
OS Command Injection vulnerability in the TR action of Rapid7 InsightConnect Translate Plugin on Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via the text or expression parameters due to insufficient input sanitization in shell command construction.

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

OS Command Injection vulnerability in the TR action of Rapid7 InsightConnect Translate Plugin on Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via the text or expression parameters due to insufficient input sanitization in shell command construction.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of the Translate Plugin. Until a patch is available, implement strict input validation and avoid direct shell command execution with user-supplied parameters, or disable the TR action if not essential.

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. Identify if Rapid7 InsightConnect is deployed
    Check for InsightConnect installation directory, service, or plugin registry. Common locations: /opt/insightconnect, /var/lib/insightconnect, or consult InsightConnect documentation for your deployment method.
    Affected if InsightConnect is not installed - not affected. If installed, continue to next check.
  2. Verify Translate Plugin is installed
    List installed plugins in InsightConnect. This is typically done via the InsightConnect UI under Plugins section, or via CLI/API if available in your deployment: insightconnect-cli plugin list or check the plugins directory.
    Affected if Translate Plugin is not installed - not affected. If installed, continue to next check.
  3. Check Translate Plugin version
    View the installed version of the Translate Plugin. In the InsightConnect UI, go to Plugins > Translate > Version. If using CLI: insightconnect-cli plugin get translate or check the plugin manifest file.
    Affected if Version is 2.0.3 or higher - not affected. Version is below 2.0.3 or version cannot be determined - potentially affected, continue to next check.
  4. Confirm environment is Linux
    Check the operating system where InsightConnect and the Translate Plugin are running. Run: uname -a or cat /etc/os-release.
    Affected if Running on Windows or macOS - not affected (vulnerability is Linux-specific). Running on Linux - potentially affected, continue to next check.
  5. Check if TR action is enabled or used
    Review workflow configurations and action usage logs for the Translate Plugin TR action. Check workflow definitions that include the Translate plugin and specifically the TR action. Inspect audit logs or activity logs for TR action execution.
    Affected if TR action is not configured in any workflow and has never been executed - not affected. TR action is enabled or has been used - potentially affected.

The environment is affected if Rapid7 InsightConnect with Translate Plugin version below 2.0.3 is running on Linux and the TR action is enabled or has been used with user-supplied text or expression parameters.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 2.0.3 or later
Fixed in 2.0.3
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to a patched version of the Translate Plugin. Until a patch is available, implement strict input validation and avoid direct shell command execution with user-supplied parameters, or disable the TR action if not essential.

Recommended fix High confidence

2.0.3

  1. Log into the InsightConnect management console
  2. Navigate to the Plugins or Integrations section
  3. Locate the Translate plugin in the installed plugins list
  4. Check the current version to confirm it is below 2.0.3
  5. Update the Translate plugin to version 2.0.3 or later
  6. Verify the upgrade was successful by confirming the installed version is 2.0.3 or higher
