An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-24974 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: OpenVPN 2. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-24974/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-24974/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-24974","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-24974/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-24974","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mfqw-44wg-mrpf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenVPN interactive service","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can access the privileged OpenVPN interactive service pipe, potentially leading to privilege escalation or code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"OpenVPN","cpe":[{"product":"openvpn","vendor":"openvpn"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-923","name":"Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints"}],"description":"The interactive service in OpenVPN 2.6.9 and earlier allows the OpenVPN service pipe to be accessed remotely, which allows a remote attacker to interact with the privileged OpenVPN interactive service.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Missing authorization in OpenVPN 2","id":"CVE-2024-24974","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Denial of Service for mobile app users due to automatic code highlighting","id":"CVE-2024-24975"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Intel(R) Distribution for GDB software","id":"CVE-2024-24973"},"products":["OpenVPN 2"],"published":"2024-07-08","related":[{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in OpenVPN","id":"CVE-2025-12106","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-01"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in OpenVPN","id":"CVE-2024-5594","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-06"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-7544","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-16"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-1629","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-04-06"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in OpenVPN","id":"CVE-2024-4877","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-03"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Code injection in OpenVPN-GUI","id":"CVE-2021-3606","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-02"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9336","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-01"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-10","vendors":["OpenVPN"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can access the privileged OpenVPN interactive service pipe, potentially leading to privilege escalation or code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-24974/"}
