CVE-2024-45824
Rockwellautomation
CVE-2024-45824 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems when chained with Path Traversal, Command Injection, and XSS vulnerabilities. Despite a CVSS score of 9.8 indicating high severity, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, suggesting a lower immediate risk compared to vulnerabilities with SVRS scores above 80. However, the potential for exploitation via chaining remains a significant concern. Successful exploitation could lead to complete system compromise, data breaches, and further malicious activities. Organizations should apply the provided patches to mitigate this critical vulnerability and prevent potential attacks. The presence of the "In The Wild" tag highlights that the vulnerability has been observed being exploited.
Description
