CVE-2025-62193
Sites running NOAA PMEL Live Access Server (LAS) are vulnerable to remote code execution via specially crafted requests that include PyFerret expressions.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.30%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Sites running NOAA PMEL Live Access Server (LAS) are vulnerable to remote code execution via specially crafted requests that include PyFerret expressions. By leveraging a SPAWN command, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands. Fixed in a version of 'gov.noaa.pmel.tmap.las.filter.RequestInputFilter.java' from 2025-09-24.
