Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →CVE-2024-7961 is a path traversal vulnerability in Rockwell Automation Pavilion8 (all versions prior to V5.20) that allows authenticated high-privileged remote attackers to upload arbitrary files, potentially leading to remote code execution. ↗
- →Monitor for unexpected file uploads to the Pavilion8 server, especially files placed outside the intended upload directory (path traversal pattern using sequences such as '../' in upload requests). ↗
- →The vulnerability requires high privileges (PR:H) per CVSS v3.1 scoring; monitor for privileged user accounts performing unusual file upload operations on Pavilion8 instances. ↗
- →Pavilion8 is network-accessible (AV:N); alert on inbound connections to Pavilion8 services from unexpected external or business-network sources, particularly file upload endpoints. ↗
- ·All versions of Rockwell Automation Pavilion8 prior to V5.20 are confirmed affected; V6.0 and later are the remediated versions. ↗
- ·No known public exploitation specifically targeting CVE-2024-7961 had been reported to CISA at time of publication (September 12, 2024). ↗
