CISA KEV Advisory

Aviatrix Controllers OS Command Injection Vulnerability

Added to KEV: 2025-01-16Federal patch deadline: 2025-02-06

Required Action (CISA)

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.

Risk Analysis

Aviatrix Controllers are vulnerable to OS command injection, enabling an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. The high EPSS score of 0.94362 suggests a very high probability of exploitation, and its inclusion in the KEV catalog confirms active exploitation.

This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild. The flaw allows for unauthenticated, remote code execution by sending shell metacharacters to specific API endpoints.

Recommended Action

Administrators should apply security updates for Aviatrix Controllers to fix the OS command injection vulnerability. Implement robust input sanitization and validation for all user-supplied data, especially in API requests.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2024-50603 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-2024-50603 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.
