The publicly accessible testCredential.do endpoint takes multiple user inputs and validates supplied credentials by accessing a specified system. This endpoint calls several internal classes, and then executes a PowerShell script. If the specified system is OfficeSharePointServer, then the username and password parameters to this script are not validated, leading to Command Injection.","published":"2018-03-08T22:29:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:03:55.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-78"],"affected":["zohocorp/manageengine applications manager"],"epss":{"score":0.78815,"percentile":0.99589,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-09-21","score":0.76236,"percentile":0.99525},{"date":"2026-09-22","score":0.78815,"percentile":0.99572}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":1,"verified":false,"firstPublished":"2018-03-12","source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[{"edbId":44274,"kind":"exploit","title":"ManageEngine Applications Manager 13.5 - Remote Code Execution (Metasploit)","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/44274","sourceUrl":"https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb/-/blob/main/exploits/java/webapps/44274.rb","file":"exploits/java/webapps/44274.rb","published":"2018-03-12","added":"2018-03-12","updated":"2018-03-12","author":"Mehmet Ince","type":"webapps","platform":"java","port":null,"verified":false,"codes":["CVE-2018-7890"],"tags":null,"aliases":null,"applicationUrl":null,"screenshotUrl":null,"referenceUrl":null}]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 78.8%, higher than 100% of all known CVEs.
