CVE-2024-6893
Published: April 11, 2026
Official Description
The "soap_cgi.pyc" API handler allows the XML body of SOAP requests to contain references to external entities. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to read local files, perform server-side request forgery, and overwhelm the web server resources.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2024-6893 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-2024-6893 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.
