CVE-2024-45720
CVE-2024-45720 is a command injection vulnerability affecting Subversion on Windows platforms. This flaw allows for the execution of arbitrary commands via specially crafted command line arguments due to improper character encoding conversion.
The vulnerability impacts all Subversion versions up to and including 1.14.3. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access and control of the affected system.
While the CVSS score is 0, indicating a low base score, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30. Although not critical (SVRS > 80), this suggests that the vulnerability is being discussed and potentially exploited, indicated by "In The Wild" tag. Users of Subversion on Windows are strongly advised to upgrade to version 1.14.4 to mitigate the security risk. Subversion installations on UNIX-like systems are not affected. The root cause, CWE-78, highlights the danger of improper input validation.
Description
CVE-2024-45720 is a vulnerability in Subversion on Windows platforms that allows for argument injection and execution of other programs when a specially crafted command line argument string is processed. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.2, indicating a high severity level. However, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 42, indicating a moderate risk level. This difference in scoring is due to the SVRS incorporating additional vulnerability intelligence elements, such as social media, news, and dark web data, which provide a more comprehensive view of the threat landscape.
