CVE-2024-5956Network attack vector

Unauthenticated partial data access via authentication bypass

Published Sep 5, 2024 · Updated Sep 5, 2024

Authentication bypass in Trellix IPS Manager 11.1.7.97 allows remote attackers to obtain partial data through its web interface. Public materials do not identify the affected endpoint or explain how a request defeats authentication, and report that responses contain mostly garbage data. No credentials or user interaction are required; the reported consequence is limited to partial data access, with no reported service interruption or complete database disclosure.
