CVE-2024-21760
Published: 18 March 2025
Description
Adversaries may abuse command and script interpreters to execute commands, scripts, or binaries.
Security Summary
CVE-2024-21760 is a code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) affecting the FortiSOAR Connector in FortiSOAR versions 7.4, 7.3, 7.2, 7.0, and 6.4 across all releases. It stems from improper control of code generation, enabling an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the host system through a playbook code snippet. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to its potential for complete system compromise.
An authenticated attacker with high privileges (PR:H) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), though it requires user interaction (UI:R), such as triggering a malicious playbook snippet. Successful exploitation grants the attacker high-impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability effects across the affected scope (S:C), potentially leading to full remote code execution on the FortiSOAR host.
