CVE-2024-42919Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated report access via unprotected endpoint

Published Aug 20, 2024 · Updated Sep 13, 2024

Improper access control in eScan Management Console 14.0.1400.2281 allows remote attackers to read antivirus reports without authentication. The acteScanAVReport endpoint returns the eScan AV report without enforcing the console's authentication mechanism. Network access to the web console is sufficient; published evidence establishes report disclosure but not broader modification or service interruption.
