CVE-2024-9692
CVE-2024-9692 is a Denial-of-Service (DoS) vulnerability affecting VIMESA VHF/FM Transmitter Blue Plus. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to disrupt transmitter operations by sending an unauthorized HTTP GET request to the 'doreboot' endpoint, causing a restart. With a SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 30, the urgency is moderate, but the potential impact on broadcast services makes it noteworthy. Although the CVSS score is 0, the SVRS and "In The Wild" tag suggest potential real-world exploitability should be considered. Exploiting this vulnerability can lead to service disruption and potentially impact critical communications. While not immediately critical, proactive mitigation is advised to prevent unauthorized transmitter restarts and maintain operational stability, safeguarding against possible unauthenticated attacks. Mitigation is essential to ensure continuous availability.
