CVE-2024-1212Progress Kemp LoadMaster — unauthenticated command execution

The management interface of Progress Kemp LoadMaster lets an unauthenticated attacker reach the system and run commands on it, which hands them the load balancer sitting in front of the applications.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Apply the vendor fix for this now; exploitation probability is near certain, so keep the management interface off the internet and rotate its credentials.
