Yes. CVE-2024-39717, Versa Director Dangerous File Type Upload Vulnerability, is being exploited in the wild. CISA added it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 23 Aug 2024, 1 days after it was published. It affects Versa Director. If you run it, CISA's required action is: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.

What it is

The Versa Director GUI contains an unrestricted upload of file with dangerous type vulnerability that allows administrators with Provider-Data-Center-Admin or Provider-Data-Center-System-Admin privileges to customize the user interface. The “Change Favicon” (Favorite Icon) enables the upload of a .png file, which can be exploited to upload a malicious file with a .png extension disguised as an image.

What to do

1. Check whether you run it. Look for Director in your asset inventory, including appliances and cloud images. Stack check lists every exploited Versa CVE at once.
2. Apply the fix. Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
3. If you can't patch today, take the affected service off the internet or restrict who can reach it, and check its logs for signs of compromise since 22 Aug 2024.
4. Get told next time. Email alerts when CISA adds a CVE for Versa.
