Progress Software released an emergency to address a maximum severity vulnerability in its LoadMaster products.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Progress Software released an emergency fix for a critical vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-7591<\/a>, that affects its LoadMaster and LoadMaster Multi-Tenant (MT) Hypervisor products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vulnerability is an improper input validation issue, that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access LoadMaster\u2019s management interface using a specially crafted HTTP request. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is possible for unauthenticated, remote attackers who have access to the management interface of LoadMaster to issue a carefully crafted http request that will allow arbitrary system commands to be executed.” reads the advisory<\/a>. “This vulnerability has been closed by sanitizing request user input to mitigate arbitrary system commands execution.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Progress LoadMaster is a high-performance application delivery controller (ADC) and load balancer. It is designed to enhance the availability, scalability, performance, and security of business-critical applications and websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vulnerability could enable an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on affected systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
