CVE-2024-45274
CVE-2024-45274 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute operating system commands via UDP, posing a significant security risk. Due to missing authentication, malicious actors can gain unauthorized access to the device. Despite a low CVSS score, the presence of the In The Wild tag is concerning. The SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 30 indicates a moderate risk level, but given the potential for remote command execution, patching should be prioritized. This vulnerability can lead to complete system compromise, data breaches, and denial of service. Immediate action is necessary to mitigate the risk of exploitation by threat actors. Organizations should apply the necessary patches or implement compensating controls to prevent potential attacks. The ability to execute arbitrary OS commands makes this a particularly dangerous vulnerability.
Description
CVE-2024-45274 is a critical vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute OS commands via UDP on the device due to missing authentication. The CVSS score of 9.8 indicates the high severity of this vulnerability, while the SVRS of 42 suggests that it is not as critical as other vulnerabilities with SVRS scores above 80.
