CVE-2024-45944
CVE-2024-45944 is a critical vulnerability in J2eeFAST versions 2.7 and earlier, leading to potential arbitrary code execution. The backend function's inadequate filtering lets attackers activate sensitive functions. Despite a high CVSS score of 9.8, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, suggesting a lower real-world risk compared to its theoretical severity, though it has been tagged as being In The Wild. Exploitation can grant attackers significant control over affected systems. Immediate patching is advisable to mitigate potential damage. This flaw highlights the critical need for robust input validation. Although the SVRS is relatively low, the possibility of code execution makes this CVE a significant concern.
Description
CVE-2024-45944 is a critical vulnerability in J2eeFAST <=2.7 that allows an attacker to trigger sensitive functions and execute arbitrary code due to unsafe filtering in the backend function. The SVRS of 42 indicates a moderate risk, but it's still crucial to address this vulnerability promptly.
