CVE-2024-6127: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in BC Security Empire
BC Security Empire versions prior to 5.9.3 contain a critical path traversal vulnerability that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation requires completing cryptographic handshakes over HTTP and uploading payloads with malicious paths. This vulnerability is identified as CVE-2024-6127 and has a CVSS score of 9.8, indicating a severe risk of confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-6127 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in BC Security Empire before version 5.9.3. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this flaw by acting as a normal agent, completing necessary cryptographic handshakes over HTTP, and uploading payload data containing malicious paths. This can lead to remote code execution on the affected system. The vulnerability is critical with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected system, potentially leading to full system compromise. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system running BC Security Empire versions prior to 5.9.3.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation has been confirmed or published yet. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict network access to the affected service and monitor for suspicious activity consistent with exploitation attempts.
