Deeper analysis

CVE-2024-2389 is an operating system command injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-78, that affects Flowmon versions prior to 11.1.14 and 12.3.5. The flaw resides in the management interface and carries a maximum CVSS 3.1 score of 10.0 due to its network-accessible, unauthenticated, and scope-changing nature.

An unauthenticated attacker can exploit the issue remotely over the network to obtain initial access through the management interface and then execute arbitrary operating system commands, resulting in complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the affected system.

Vendor advisories published by Kemp Technologies direct customers to upgrade to the fixed releases 11.1.14 or 12.3.5; the same guidance is referenced on the Flowmon site. The associated EPSS score stands at 0.9435 with no indicated change since disclosure.
