Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2024-1212
Progress Kemp LoadMaster load balancers execute arbitrary system commands for unauthenticated remote attackers who reach the management interface. Load balancers see and terminate traffic for the applications behind them, so a compromise exposes sessions and certificates as well as the device. The 95% EPSS score, Critical CVSS 9.8 rating, and 2024-11-18 KEV listing all point to active, ongoing abuse.
Do this: Patch LoadMaster appliances and confirm their management interfaces are unreachable from the internet.
