CVE-2025-67840 — Cohesity Tranzman security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.2

Multiple authenticated OS command injection vulnerabilities exist in the Cohesity (formerly Stone Ram) TranZman 4.0 Build 14614 through TZM_1757588060_SEP2025_FULL.depot web application API endpoints (including Scheduler and Actions pages). The appliance directly concatenates user-controlled parameters into system commands without sufficient sanitisation, allowing an authenticated admin user to inject and execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges. An attacker can intercept legitimate requests (e.g. during job creation or execution) using a proxy and modify parameters to include shell metacharacters, achieving remote code execution on the appliance. This completely bypasses the intended CLISH restricted shell confinement and results in full system compromise. The vulnerabilities persist in Release 4.0 Build 14614 including the latest patch (as of the time of testing) TZM_1757588060_SEP2025_FULL.depot.

Matched remediation archetype

Command, code, expression, and template injection

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace untrusted values to process execution, interpreters, evaluators, template engines, dynamic imports, and administrative scripting features.
  • Determine whether the affected path is reachable across each trust boundary and which service account or host privilege it inherits.
  • Review configuration for optional execution features, unsafe compatibility modes, and shell invocation.

Remediate safely

  • Replace string-built commands or evaluated code with fixed operations and structured argument APIs that do not invoke a shell.
  • Use strict allowlists for operation identifiers and reject unexpected input before it reaches any interpreter.
  • Update the affected component and add inert regression tests covering metacharacters, encoding variants, and alternate request paths.
