CVE-2025-27364 is a remote code execution vulnerability in MITRE Caldera affecting versions through 4.2.0 and 5.0.0 before commit 35bc06e, and described by advisory sources as affecting versions prior to 5.1.0. The flaw exists in the server-side dynamic compilation functionality used to build and download Caldera Sandcat and Manx agents (implants). The compilation API accepts attacker-controlled parameters that are passed to the gcc toolchain, including linker flags. An attacker can submit a crafted web request to the Caldera server API and abuse the gcc -extldflags option to inject sub-commands, resulting in arbitrary command execution on the host running the Caldera server. The issue is described as unauthenticated in the provided supporting content.
