Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-11482 is a critical command-injection vulnerability in Trellix ESM version 11.6.10. It permits unauthenticated access to an internal Snowservice API, allowing remote attackers to inject and execute operating-system commands that run with root privileges. The flaw is tracked under CWE-78 and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8.
An unauthenticated network attacker can send specially crafted requests directly to the exposed API endpoint, bypassing all authentication controls and achieving arbitrary code execution as root. Successful exploitation grants full control over the affected ESM instance, including the ability to read, modify, or delete data and to pivot further into the environment.
Public references include a Trellix knowledge-base article and a HackerOne report that describe the issue and link to available patches or configuration guidance for affected deployments.
