It’s quite a serious issue that could potentially allow attackers to execute malicious code on your system. This vulnerability has been lurking in the software for several years, affecting multiple versions.
Stay Alert: Kerio Control Vulnerability Exposed
A security researcher named Egidio Romano uncovered a critical flaw in Kerio Control, a popular Unified Threat Management solution by GFI Software. This vulnerability, known as CVE-2024-52875, could be exploited to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable systems running versions 9.2.5 through 9.4.5.
In his detailed blog post, Romano highlighted the specific pages within the software that were prone to HTTP Response Splitting vulnerabilities. These flaws stemmed from inadequate user input validation, paving the way for potential Open Redirect, HTTP Response Splitting, and Reflected XSS attacks.
After promptly notifying the vendors about the issue, the vulnerability was addressed in the latest release, KerioControl 9.4.5p1. However, until the patch reaches all users, it’s essential to take precautions like restricting software access to trusted networks, implementing stringent input validation, and raising awareness among employees.
