Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 23 Jul 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

Red Hat has released updated libuv packages (version 1.41.1-2.el8_10) that address this vulnerability. Users of affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 variants and related products should apply the security update as described in Red Hat advisory RHSA-2024:4247. Detailed update instructions are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

A security update for libuv addresses an improper domain lookup vulnerability (CVE-2024-24806) that could potentially lead to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks. This vulnerability affects multiple Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 variants and related products. The issue has been rated with moderate severity by Red Hat Product Security. An update to libuv version 1.41.1-2.el8_10 is available to fix this vulnerability. No known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.

Impact

The vulnerability could enable SSRF attacks due to improper domain lookup handling in libuv. SSRF vulnerabilities can allow attackers to induce the server to make unintended requests, potentially accessing internal resources or services. However, the severity is rated moderate, indicating a limited or controlled impact scope. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Summary

The libuv library, which provides multi-platform asynchronous I/O support, contains an improper domain lookup vulnerability identified as CVE-2024-24806. This flaw could allow an attacker to perform SSRF attacks by exploiting the domain lookup process. Red Hat has issued a security advisory (RHSA-2024:4247) describing the vulnerability and providing updated libuv packages that fix the issue. The fix is included in libuv version 1.41.1-2.el8_10 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and related distributions. The advisory rates the security impact as moderate and no active exploitation has been reported.
