ConnectWise ScreenConnect (CVE-2024-1709 / CVE-2024-1708)
ConnectWise ScreenConnect (CVE-2024-1709 / CVE-2024-1708) 是什么?
ConnectWise ScreenConnect (CVE-2024-1709 / CVE-2024-1708)A February 2024 authentication-bypass (CVE-2024-1709, CVSS 10.0) and path-traversal (CVE-2024-1708, CVSS 8.4) in ConnectWise ScreenConnect that allowed unauthenticated administrative takeover of MSP-managed RMM servers, exploited en masse within hours.
CVE-2024-1709 is a critical authentication-bypass flaw in ConnectWise ScreenConnect (now branded ConnectWise Control), a remote-monitoring-and-management product widely used by MSPs. Disclosed on 19 February 2024 alongside the related path-traversal CVE-2024-1708, it allowed an unauthenticated attacker to reach the SetupWizard endpoint on a fully configured server and create a new administrator account, achieving complete takeover. Because ScreenConnect servers are typically internet-exposed and hold persistent agent connections to thousands of endpoints across many customer organizations, a single compromised ScreenConnect server functioned as an instant multi-tenant initial-access broker. Mass exploitation began within hours of public disclosure: LockBit, Play, BlackBasta, BlackCat affiliates, several nation-state actors (Mandiant tracked at least UNC4537/Slip19), and commodity ransomware groups all weaponized the bug, hitting MSPs and downstream SMBs. ConnectWise released patches (23.9.8 / on-prem 22.4 LTS and later) and CISA added CVE-2024-1709 to the KEV catalog. The incident is one of the canonical 2024 examples of supply-chain risk via MSP tooling, comparable in shape to the 2021 Kaseya VSA case.
● 示例
- 01
