A critical security vulnerability has been identified in the Aviatrix Controller, a cloud networking platform, which is currently being targeted by hackers. This flaw, identified as CVE-2024-50603, has a maximum severity rating (CVSS score: 10.0) and allows unauthenticated remote code execution, potentially enabling attackers to inject malicious commands via improperly sanitized API inputs. The vulnerability affects approximately 3% of cloud enterprise environments that implement the Aviatrix Controller, with a significant portion of these environments exhibiting paths for privilege escalation.
According to Wiz, a cloud security firm, the ongoing exploitation of this flaw could lead to severe implications as it may allow attackers to escalate their privileges within AWS cloud settings when the Aviatrix Controller is deployed. Hackers have reportedly utilized this vulnerability to mine cryptocurrencies and deploy command-and-control frameworks, increasing their foothold in the compromised environments.
A proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-50603 has been publicly shared, and researchers advise that those utilizing the Aviatrix Controller should apply the provided patches promptly and restrict public access to mitigate risks. As researchers continue to investigate, there are growing concerns that the vulnerability may lead to unauthorized access and further exploitation of cloud resources.
