CVE-2024-39165
Published: 04 July 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-39165 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Synacktiv (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, ranked in the top 11.5% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-39165 affects Asial JpGraph Professional through version 4.2.6-pro. The flaw resides in the QR/demoapp/qr_image.php script, which is shipped unnecessarily with the product. An attacker can supply a PHP payload in the data parameter together with a .php filename in the filename parameter, resulting in arbitrary code execution because the script fails to sanitize or restrict the input before it is written and executed.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit the issue over the network without user interaction. Successful exploitation grants full control over the affected application, including the ability to read, modify, or delete data and to run arbitrary commands on the underlying server, consistent with the CVSS 9.8 rating and CWE-94 classification.
The associated EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.0721 on 2025-12-11 before receding to the current value of 0.0387, indicating that exploitation interest increased after public disclosure. Public advisories from Synacktiv detail the pre-authenticated remote code execution vector but do not describe specific patches or configuration workarounds in the supplied references.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
