CVE-2024-6805Network attack vector

Unauthenticated file disclosure via unchecked transfer requests

Published Jul 22, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Missing authorization in the NI VeriStand Gateway 2024 Q2 and earlier allows remote attackers to read File Transfer resources. The Gateway's File Transfer resource handler serves requested resources without performing the authorization check that should restrict access. Network access to the Gateway transfer service is sufficient, and NI's CVSS assessment limits the demonstrated consequence to confidentiality loss.
