CVE-2024-42462Network attack vector

Unauthenticated system access via MFA bypass

Published Aug 16, 2024 · Updated Oct 3, 2025

Improper authentication in upKeeper Manager 5.1.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to access its administration system by bypassing MFA. The vendor identifies the administration login process as the locus but does not disclose how required multifactor authentication is skipped. The login must have multifactor authentication enabled; successful exploitation grants unauthenticated system access.
