ConnectWise ScreenConnect Vulnerability - What You Should Know
Critical security advisory covering CVE-2024-1709 (CVSS 10.0) and CVE-2024-1708 (CVSS 8.4) — authentication bypass and path traversal vulnerabilities in ConnectWise ScreenConnect.
Because of its deep administrative capabilities, if an attacker gains access to ScreenConnect, the consequences are severe — full administrative control over all connected endpoints becomes accessible.
ScreenConnect is used extensively by Managed Service Providers (MSPs), which makes it a particularly high-value target: compromising a single MSP's ScreenConnect server can cascade into attacks against every client and endpoint that MSP manages.
"This is not a vulnerability but a feature of ScreenConnect which allows an administrator to create extensions that execute .NET code as SYSTEM on the ScreenConnect server."
