CVE-2024-25089Network attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via gRPC named pipes

Published Feb 4, 2024 · Updated Aug 26, 2024

Code injection in Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control before 6.9.9.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via gRPC named pipes. The vendor identifies the gRPC named-pipe channel as the affected locus but has not published the unsafe message operation or code path. No authentication or user interaction is required; successful exploitation permits arbitrary code execution on the affected Windows host.
