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-2024-38488 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines. 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-2024-38488/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38488/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38488","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38488/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38488","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4g8h-jqj8-hf34"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["account_takeover","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VM recovery software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Network attackers can bypass authentication restrictions to brute-force user passwords, leading to complete system compromise of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[{"product":"recoverpoint_for_virtual_machines","vendor":"dell"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-307","name":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts"}],"description":"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 6.0.x contains a vulnerability.
