CVE-2024-6891Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via oversized end_URL evaluation

Published Aug 7, 2024 · Updated Aug 8, 2024

Python code injection in Journyx 11.5.4 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code through the web login flow. In wtlogin.pyc, an end_URL longer than 1,000 characters is interpolated into an import statement and passed to exec() without validation. A valid username and password are required, and successful exploitation runs attacker-supplied Python with the Journyx service account's privileges.
