CISA KEV Advisory
Commvault Command Center Path Traversal Vulnerability
Commvault Command Center contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
Risk Analysis
This vulnerability in Commvault Command Center allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code due to a path traversal flaw. The high EPSS score of 0.51059 and its presence in CISA's KEV indicate a significant likelihood of exploitation and an urgent need for remediation.
Active exploitation of this vulnerability has been observed in the wild, and it is listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. The flaw is remotely exploitable without authentication.
Apply the latest security updates or patches for Commvault Command Center to address this path traversal vulnerability. Regularly review and restrict network access to critical management interfaces.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-34028 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
CISA has added CVE-2025-34028 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
