CVE-2024-5505: NETGEAR ProSAFE vulnerability allows attackers to remotely execute code. This Directory Traversal flaw in the UpLoadServlet class of the NETGEAR ProSAFE Network Management System allows remote attackers, with authentication, to execute arbitrary code. The system fails to properly validate user-supplied paths before using them in file operations. This allows an attacker to execute code with SYSTEM privileges.

While the CVSS score is 8.8 (High), the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, indicating a lower level of immediate threat despite its presence In The Wild. Nevertheless, administrators should still apply available patches. Failing to remediate this could result in complete system compromise and unauthorized access to sensitive data. Due to the potential for remote code execution, this is a high-severity vulnerability that requires prompt attention from security teams.
