Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 13 May 2025
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

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 26 Oct 2026.

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 or the CVSS exploit maturity 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.

What to do

Upgrade the Red Hat redhat/perl-Module-ScanDeps package to 9.6.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released an official security update that addresses this vulnerability. Users should apply the update as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:7350 and the linked article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. Applying this update mitigates the local privilege escalation risk. No additional mitigation steps are specified or required beyond applying the official patch.

Description

A local privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2024-10224) exists in the perl-Module-ScanDeps module used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. This vulnerability arises from unsanitized input handling, allowing a local attacker to escalate privileges. Red Hat has issued a security update to address this issue in the perl-Module-ScanDeps package. The update is rated as having a moderate security impact. The advisory applies to multiple architectures and variants of Red Hat CodeReady Linux Builder for version 9 and its Extended Update Support versions 9.6 and 9.8.

Impact

The vulnerability allows local privilege escalation via unsanitized input in the perl-Module-ScanDeps module. This could enable a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the affected system. The severity is rated as moderate by Red Hat Product Security. There are no known exploits in the wild at the time of the advisory.

Summary

The perl-Module-ScanDeps module, which scans potential modules used by perl programs and returns a hash reference keyed by module names, contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability caused by unsanitized input (CVE-2024-10224). This vulnerability allows a local attacker to escalate privileges on affected systems. Red Hat has released a security update for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and its CodeReady Linux Builder variants to mitigate this issue. The advisory references Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.6 Release Notes for additional changes and provides guidance for applying the update.

Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #18OWASP Top 10 A05:2025: Injection (opens in a new tab)
The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Attack Surface Reduction
Consider using language-theoretic security (LangSec) techniques that characterize inputs using a formal language and build "recognizers" for that language. This effectively requires parsing to be a distinct layer that effectively enforces a boundary between raw input and internal data representations, instead of…
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use an input validation framework such as Struts or the OWASP ESAPI Validation API. Note that using a framework does not automatically address all input validation problems; be mindful of weaknesses that could arise from misusing the framework itself (CWE-1173).
