Vulnerability Description

OS Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in API in Progress ADC Products allows an un-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the LoadMaster appliance by exploiting unsanitized input in multiple command endpoints

  1. Maintain the observed Atomicorp protections. Keep your Atomicorp commercial rules current and confirm that the selected observed rules (340014 , 340029 , 344360 , 344361 , 344363 , 344364 , 344366 , 344370 , 393655 ) have not been locally disabled. Atomicorp commercial rules are enabled by default. If you use Atomic WAF, review the applicable policy and rule settings.

  2. Apply the vendor’s remediation. WAF protection is defense in depth and does not replace upgrading or following the affected vendor’s guidance.

    • Affected versions: Progress Software LoadMaster versions earlier than V7.2.63.2.
    • Affected versions: Progress Software LoadMaster versions earlier than V7.2.54.18.
    • Affected versions: Progress Software ECS Connections Manager versions earlier than V7.2.63.2.
    • Affected versions: Progress Software Object Scale Connection Manager versions earlier than V7.2.63.2.
    • Affected versions: Progress Software MOVEit WAF versions earlier than V7.2.63.2.
    • Recommended upgrade: Upgrade Progress Software LoadMaster to V7.2.63.2 or later.
    • Recommended upgrade: Upgrade Progress Software LoadMaster to V7.2.54.18 or later.
    • Recommended upgrade: Upgrade Progress Software ECS Connections Manager to V7.2.63.2 or later.
    • Recommended upgrade: Upgrade Progress Software Object Scale Connection Manager to V7.2.63.2 or later.
    • Recommended upgrade: Upgrade Progress Software MOVEit WAF to V7.2.63.2 or later.
    • The CVE record does not include written upgrade or workaround instructions, but it does publish the following patch or mitigation reference:
    • CISA KEV required action: Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk (see URL in Notes) guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” (see URL in Notes). Follow applicable BOD 26-04 guidance for cloud services or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Stakeholders are responsible for evaluating each asset’s internet exposure and ensuring adherence to BOD 26-04 patching guidelines.
    • CISA KEV federal remediation due date: 2026-08-10

  3. Validate after changes. Confirm rule updates are current, review WAF events for the affected application, and test application behavior after vendor upgrades, mitigations, or local policy changes.

Research Notes

Research Note Context

This research note documents exploit-technique analysis associated with this vulnerability and references Atomicorp WAF protections observed during engineering review, testing, or validation activities.

Atomicorp security controls are generally designed to identify and mitigate attack techniques and exploit behaviors rather than individual CVE identifiers. As a result, protections developed for one vulnerability may also apply to related attack variants and future vulnerabilities using similar techniques.
