CVE-2024-45208Network attack vector

Unauthenticated RCE via exposed NCS HA service

Published Jun 18, 2025 · Updated Jun 23, 2025

Improper access control in Versa Networks Versa Director 21.2.2, 21.2.3, and 22.1.1 through 22.1.4 allows remote attackers to execute code. Affected releases bind the shared-password Cisco NCS HA service to all interfaces, exposing port 4566 instead of limiting it to HA peers. Network access to an unhardened port 4566 is sufficient for unauthorized administrative actions and full remote code execution.
