CVE-2025-13447 is an OS command injection vulnerability in the Progress LoadMaster API. The flaw is caused by improper sanitization and validation of user-supplied API input parameters before they are incorporated into system-level command execution. The provided content specifically states that authenticated attackers with "User Administration" permissions can exploit unsanitized API parameters to execute arbitrary commands on the LoadMaster appliance. Supporting advisory material further attributes the issue to administrative command handling, including commands such as delcert and addapikey, where attacker-controlled input is passed to a system call without proper neutralization. Successful exploitation results in remote code execution on the appliance in the context of the "bal" user.
