In addition, another privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2024-5910) affecting Expedition is also at a high risk of exploitation. System administrators are advised to take immediate action to patch your affected systems to mitigate the elevated risk of cyber attacks.
For detailed information of the affected systems, please refer to the corresponding security advisory at vendor's website.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities could lead to remote code execution, denial of service, privilege escalation, security restriction bypass or tampering on an affected system.
Patches for affected systems are now available. For detailed information of the available patches, please refer to the section "Solution" of corresponding security advisory at vendor's website.
