TLS4B Automatic Tank Gauge System: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command
CVE-2025-58428 is a critical-severity improper neutralization of special elements used in a command vulnerability in TLS4B Automatic Tank Gauge System from Veeder-Root, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.9 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 11.A as the first without the flaw, so updating TLS4B Automatic Tank Gauge System to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 1.42% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 73% of scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update TLS4B Automatic Tank Gauge System to 11.A or a later version.

Official description
The TLS4B ATG system's SOAP-based interface is vulnerable due to its accessibility through the web services handler. This vulnerability enables remote attackers with valid credentials to execute system-level commands on the underlying Linux system. This could allow the attacker to achieve remote command execution, full shell access, and potential lateral movement within the network.

The underlying weakness: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command
The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- If at all possible, use library calls rather than external processes to recreate the desired functionality.
- If possible, ensure that all external commands called from the program are statically created.
- Run time: Run time policy enforcement may be used in an allowlist fashion to prevent use of any non-sanctioned commands.
