CVE-2024-28200Network attack vector

Unauthenticated UI access via undisclosed alternate path

Published Jul 1, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Authentication bypass in N-able N-central before 2024.2 allows remote attackers to access the server user interface without credentials. N-able has not disclosed the alternate UI path or channel that fails to enforce authentication, and no public patch diff identifies the responsible code. The UI is network-reachable and no account or user interaction is required; successful access compromises interface-managed data and actions, while availability impact is not reported.
