CVE-2024-5262Network attack vector

Arbitrary file read and write via anonymous SMB

Published Jun 5, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

CWE-552 in ProjectDiscovery Interactsh 0.0.6 through 1.1.9 allows remote attackers to read and write files through anonymous SMB access. The smb_server.py helper creates an interactsh share mapped to /interactsh while accepting anonymous access, exposing that directory tree to SMB operations. The SMB listener is optional and disabled by default; exposure requires a self-hosted server started with the -smb option and is limited to readable or writable files in the exported tree.
