CVE-2025-0255Network attack vector

Privileged command execution via unneutralized input

Published Mar 24, 2025 · Updated Mar 24, 2025

OS command injection in HCL DevOps Deploy allows remote authenticated users with high privileges to execute arbitrary system commands. The vendor states that specially crafted input containing special elements reaches command execution without adequate neutralization, but it has not named the affected function or command-building path. Exploitation requires a network-reachable server and a highly privileged account; successful use provides command execution with the server process's authority.
