CVE-2024-21571Network attack vector

Container code execution via undisclosed injection mechanism

Published Dec 6, 2024 · Updated Dec 6, 2024

Code injection in all versions of Snyk Code Agent allows remote attackers with deployment-network access to execute code in its container. Snyk has not published the affected code locus or the operation that handles attacker-controlled input incorrectly. Exploitation requires access inside the deployment environment; external reachability depends on cluster misconfiguration or a vulnerability chain, and the published impact remains confined to the container.
