CVE-2024-56131

Authenticated command execution via crafted HTTP request

Published Feb 5, 2025 · Updated Feb 5, 2025

OS command injection in Progress LoadMaster before 7.2.61.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary system commands. The management interface passes crafted HTTP request input to system-command execution without adequate sanitization; Progress has not disclosed the affected endpoint or parameter. An attacker must reach the management interface and successfully authenticate, after which command execution can fully compromise the appliance.
