CVE-2025-59534

CryptoLib provides a software-only solution using the CCSDS Space Data Link Security Protocol - Extended Procedures (SDLS-EP) to secure communications between a spacecraft running the core Flight System (cFS) and a ground station. Prior to version 1.4.2, there is a command Injection vulnerability in initialize_kerberos_keytab_file_login(). The vulnerability exists because the code directly interpolates user-controlled input into a shell command and executes it via system() without any sanitization or validation. This issue has been patched in version 1.4.2.

Summary		(es) CryptoLib proporciona una solución únicamente de software utilizando el Protocolo de Seguridad de Enlace de Datos Espaciales CCSDS - Procedimientos Extendidos (SDLS-EP) para asegurar las comunicaciones entre una nave espacial que ejecuta el Sistema de Vuelo central (cFS) y una estación terrestre. Antes de la versión 1.4.2, existe una vulnerabilidad de inyección de comandos en initialize_kerberos_keytab_file_login(). La vulnerabilidad existe porque el código interpola directamente la entrada controlada por el usuario en un comando de shell y lo ejecuta a través de system() sin ninguna sanitización o validación. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versión 1.4.2.
