Risk Analysis

This vulnerability in TerraMaster OS allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the target system. The very high EPSS score indicates a strong likelihood of exploitation, and its inclusion in CISA's KEV confirms active exploitation, making this a critical and urgent issue.

Active exploitation of this vulnerability has been observed in the wild, indicating that working exploits are readily available and being used by attackers. This flaw is remotely exploitable.

Recommended Action

Apply the latest security updates and patches for TerraMaster OS immediately. Restrict network access to TerraMaster devices and ensure they are not exposed to the public internet.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2022-24990 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

CISA has added CVE-2022-24990 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
