CVE-2025-7388Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated command execution via unvalidated workDir property

Published Sep 4, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026

OS command injection in Progress OpenEdge 12.2.0 before 12.2.18 and 12.8.0 before 12.8.8 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands. The RMI saveSvcConfig path writes an unvalidated workDir value into ubroker.properties, and startSvcProcess passes the resulting arguments to Runtime.exec. A valid AdminServer session and Java RMI access are required; injected commands run with the AdminServer process's delegated authority.
