CVE-2024-49361Network attack vector

Remote code execution via unvalidated application input

Published Oct 18, 2024 · Updated Oct 18, 2024

Improper input validation in ACON 1.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute code through malicious application input. The upstream advisory does not identify the affected function or the unsafe operation that connects the validation bypass to code execution. Exposure requires a machine-learning application to pass user-generated data into ACON input-handling functions, after which code runs in the hosting process.
