SYSTEM command execution via manifest params injection
Published Jul 6, 2025 · Updated Jul 7, 2025
OS command injection in Comodo Internet Security Premium 12.3.4.8162 allows remote attackers to execute commands as SYSTEM via a crafted update manifest. The Manifest File Handler passes the binary/params value from cis_update_x64.xml to the manifest's exec facility without neutralizing command syntax. Exploitation requires control of the update manifest delivered to the Windows client, such as through a man-in-the-middle position, and grants SYSTEM-level command execution.
