Microsoft
CVE-2024-38094: Microsoft SharePoint Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This flaw allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable SharePoint servers. With a CVSS score of 7.2, it presents a significant risk. However, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 30 suggests a lower level of immediate critical threat compared to vulnerabilities with SVRS scores above 80, though active exploitation is noted. Successful exploitation could lead to complete system compromise, data breaches, or denial of service. Organizations using Microsoft SharePoint should apply the necessary security patches and follow vendor advisories to mitigate potential risks and prevent unauthorized code execution. The presence of active exploits "In The Wild" increases the need for vigilance.
