CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Netsweeper before 3.1.10, 4.0.x before 4.0.9, and 4.1.x before 4.1.2 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and remove IP addresses from the quarantine via the ip parameter to webadmin/user/quarantine_disable.php.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2014-9610 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2014-9610. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
