Deeper analysis
In 2N Access Commander versions 3.1.1.2 and prior, a Path Traversal vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-47253 and assigned CWE-22 permits an attacker to write arbitrary files on the underlying filesystem. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability when successfully exploited.
Only users holding administrative privileges can leverage the issue; accounts with lower privilege roles are explicitly unable to trigger the path traversal. Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary file writes that in turn enable remote code execution on the affected system.
The vendor has published an advisory at https://www.2n.com/en-GB/download/Access-Commander-Security-Advisory-2024-11 that addresses the vulnerability. The associated EPSS score remains flat at 0.0748 with no material increase observed since disclosure.
