CVE-2024-0740
Eclipse
CVE-2024-0740 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability affecting Eclipse Target Management Terminal and Remote System Explorer (RSE) versions 4.5.400 and earlier. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the system. The SVRS score of 30 indicates a lower risk profile than the CVSS score suggests, suggesting the threat is not yet widely exploited or easily exploitable, despite being tagged as In The Wild. However, the potential for remote code execution makes this a serious concern. Successful exploitation could lead to complete system compromise, data theft, or denial of service. Users of affected Eclipse versions should upgrade to Eclipse IDE 2024-03 or later immediately to mitigate this cybersecurity risk. While the SVRS score is lower, patching remains crucial due to the inherent danger of RCE vulnerabilities.
Description
CVE-2024-0740 is a remote code execution vulnerability in Eclipse Target Management: Terminal and Remote System Explorer (RSE) version <= 4.5.400. This vulnerability does not require authentication, making it highly exploitable. The SVRS for this CVE is 42, indicating a moderate level of risk.
Key Insights
- High CVSS Score: The CVSS score of 9.8 indicates that this vulnerability is highly critical and can have a severe impact on affected systems.
- Remote Code Execution: This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable systems, giving them complete control over the system.
- No Authentication Required: The lack of authentication requirement makes this vulnerability even more dangerous, as attackers can exploit it without having to authenticate to the system.
Mitigation Strategies
- Update to the Fixed Version: The fixed version of Eclipse IDE 2024-03 has been released. Users should update to this version as soon as possible.
- Disable RSE: If updating to the fixed version is not immediately possible, users can disable RSE to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
- Implement Network Segmentation: Network segmentation can help to limit the impact of an attack by isolating vulnerable systems from other parts of the network.
- Use Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems: Intrusion detection and prevention systems can help to detect and block attacks that exploit this vulnerability.
Additional Information
- Threat Actors/APT Groups: No specific threat actors or APT groups have been identified as actively exploiting this vulnerability.
- Exploit Status: Active exploits have been published for this vulnerability.
- CISA Warnings: The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has warned of this vulnerability, calling for immediate and necessary measures.
