CVE-2024-1189Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated service interruption

Published Feb 2, 2024 · Updated May 9, 2025

Denial of service in Softaculous AMPPS 2.7 allows remote attackers to interrupt the web stack through the Encryption Passphrase Handler. Public sources identify the affected handler but do not disclose the specific resource that is released incorrectly or the input operation that triggers exhaustion. Network reachability and no authentication are sufficient; the documented consequence is service interruption without confidentiality or integrity impact.
