CVE-2024-34361
CVE-2024-34361 is a vulnerability in Pi-hole, a DNS sinkhole software, allowing authenticated users to make internal server requests, potentially leading to remote command execution. This vulnerability affects versions prior to 5.18.3 and has a patch available in version 5.18.3. While the CVSS score is 0, indicating a low base score, the presence of active exploits makes this vulnerability more critical. The SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 30 reflects a moderate risk. Even with a moderate SVRS, the 'Exploit Available' and 'In The Wild' tags are critical, indicating real-world exploitation and immediate risk to systems running vulnerable Pi-hole versions. Due to the potential for remote command execution, organizations using Pi-hole should prioritize updating to version 5.18.3 to mitigate this security risk.
Description:
CVE-2024-34361 is a vulnerability in Pi-hole, a DNS sinkhole that protects devices from unwanted content. The vulnerability allows an authenticated user to make internal requests to the server, potentially leading to remote command execution.
