CVE-2024-27829
CVE-2024-27829 is a vulnerability in macOS Sonoma 14.5 that allows processing a file to cause unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. Fixed with improved memory handling, this flaw could be exploited to compromise a system. SOCRadar's Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 36 indicates a moderate risk, although the CVSS score is 7.5. While not critical according to the SVRS, arbitrary code execution makes this a significant threat needing attention. The vulnerability stems from improper memory handling (CWE-788), enabling attackers to potentially inject and run malicious code. The "In The Wild" tag suggests that exploitation is already occurring. Organizations should prioritize patching systems to mitigate the risk of system compromise.
Description
CVE-2024-27829 is a vulnerability with a CVSS score of 0, indicating a low severity. However, SOCRadar's SVRS assigns it a score of 30, highlighting the potential for exploitation. This discrepancy stems from SOCRadar's integration of additional intelligence sources, including social media, news, and dark web data.
Key Insights
- Active Exploitation: The vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild, posing an immediate threat to organizations.
