An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-6973 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cato Networks SDP Client. 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-2024-6973/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6973/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-6973","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6973/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-6973","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-84cr-4mp4-8888"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows SDP client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code on Windows systems by sending crafted URLs to the Cato SDP client.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Cato","cpe":[{"product":"cato_client","vendor":"catonetworks"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Remote Code Execution in Cato Windows SDP client via crafted URLs.\nThis issue affects Windows SDP Client before 5.10.34.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Remote Code Execution in Cato Windows SDP client via crafted URLs","id":"CVE-2024-6973","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cato Networks Windows SDP Client Local Privilege Escalation via self-upgrade","id":"CVE-2024-6974"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Octopus Server","id":"CVE-2024-6972"},"products":["SDP Client"],"published":"2024-07-31","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cato Networks Windows SDP Client Local Privilege Escalation via self-upgrade","id":"CVE-2024-6974","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cato Networks Windows SDP Client Local Privilege Escalation via openssl configuration file","id":"CVE-2024-6975","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-43976","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-03"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Cato Networks Windows SDP Client Sensitive data in trace logs can lead to account takeover","id":"CVE-2024-6977","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"},{"cvss_score":5.7,"headline":"CatoNetworks CatoClient up to 5.8 PrivilegedHelperTool Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-3886","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-27"},{"cvss_score":5.6,"headline":"Cato Networks Windows SDP Client Local root certificates can be installed by low-privileged users","id":"CVE-2024-6978","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"}],"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":"2024-08-06","vendors":["Cato Networks"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code on Windows systems by sending crafted URLs to the Cato SDP client.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6973/"}
