CVE-2024-30080
Microsoft
CVE-2024-30080 is a remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ). This flaw allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems. The SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) for CVE-2024-30080 is 34, indicating a moderate level of risk, though it does not meet the critical threshold of 80, the “In The Wild” tag suggests active exploitation. While the CVSS score is 0, the MSMQ vulnerability could lead to significant security breaches if exploited, especially given the potential for attackers to gain complete control of the system. Organizations should prioritize patching this security flaw to mitigate potential risks. Even with a low CVSS score, the 'In The Wild' tag should warrant further investigation. It emphasizes the necessity of regularly monitoring threat intelligence for vulnerabilities like CVE-2024-30080, and applying updates promptly.
Description
CVE-2024-30080 is a critical vulnerability in Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) that allows remote code execution. The vulnerability is caused by an error in the way MSMQ handles messages. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted message to an MSMQ server. The SVRS for this vulnerability is 30, indicating a moderate risk.
