CVE-2024-0252Network attack vector

Authenticated code execution via load balancer APIs

Published Jan 11, 2024 · Updated Jun 17, 2025

Code injection in ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus 6401 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute code on the Windows host. The load balancer component improperly handles authenticated requests, but ManageEngine has not disclosed the affected API, input field, or unsafe code-generation operation. Every installation is exposed regardless of load balancer configuration, and successful exploitation runs code on the application server.
