CVE-2024-47241Network attack vector

Data exposure and modification via certificate validation

Published Oct 18, 2024 · Updated Oct 18, 2024

Improper certificate validation in Dell Secure Connect Gateway 5.24 allows remote authenticated users to read and alter transmitted data. The public record does not identify the certificate-validation routine or explain which trust, hostname, or chain checks it omits. Exploitation requires low-privileged remote access and user interaction, and the bounded impact is unauthorized reading and modification of data in transit.
