CVE-2024-5720Network attack vector

Root code execution via HTTP API command injection

Published Nov 22, 2024 · Updated Nov 26, 2024

Command injection in Logsign Unified SecOps Platform 6.4.6 through 6.4.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as root. The HTTP API passes a user-supplied string to a system call without proper validation, causing attacker-controlled input to be executed. Exploitation requires authentication to the affected API, but the published advisory states that the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed.
