CVE-2024-27145
CVE-2024-27145 allows remote attackers to compromise Toshiba printers by exploiting file upload vulnerabilities in the admin web interface. This critical vulnerability enables attackers to overwrite insecure files, potentially gaining unauthorized access and control. Although difficult to exploit alone, its impact increases when combined with other vulnerabilities. The Toshiba printers are at risk.
While the CVSS score is high (9.8), SOCRadar's Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, indicating a relatively lower immediate threat level based on the current threat landscape, nonetheless, remediation should be performed. This discrepancy suggests that while the technical impact is significant, active exploitation in the wild might be limited, or the associated threat actors are not actively targeting this vulnerability yet. Ignoring this vulnerability could lead to severe security breaches. Organizations using Toshiba printers should promptly investigate and apply necessary patches or mitigation measures.
Description
CVE-2024-27145 is a critical vulnerability in Toshiba printers that allows remote attackers to compromise and overwrite insecure files. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.8, indicating its high severity. However, the 'SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score' (SVRS) is 30, suggesting that the vulnerability is less severe than the CVSS score indicates. This is because the SVRS considers additional factors, such as social media chatter, news reports, and dark web data, which indicate that the vulnerability is not being actively exploited.
