CVE-2024-27312Network attack vector

Privilege abuse via crafted authenticated requests

Published May 20, 2024 · Updated Oct 7, 2024

Incorrect authorization in Zoho Corporation ManageEngine PAM360 6600 allows remote authenticated users to perform privileged operations. PAM360 accepts crafted server requests from a non-admin account for administrator-only operations; the vendor has not identified the affected endpoint or failed check. A valid low-privilege account and network access to the web server are required, and exploitation permits sensitive administrative actions.
