CyberVault Technical Summary

Analyst Synthesis

Technical analysis, exploit verification, and patch instructions for CVE-2025-15559 impacting nestersoft worktime. Evaluated with CVSS Base Score of 9.8 (CRITICAL).

Original NVD Description

Source: NIST NVD
An unauthenticated attacker can inject OS commands when calling a server API endpoint in NesterSoft WorkTime. The server API call to generate and download the WorkTime client from the WorkTime server is vulnerable in the โ€œguidโ€ parameter.ย This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the WorkTime server as NT Authority\SYSTEM with the highest privileges. Attackers are able to access or manipulate sensitive data and take over the whole server.
