CVE-2024-48911 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.8/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenCanary, a multi-protocol network honeypot, directly executed commands taken from its config file. Prior to version 0.9.4, where the config file is stored in an unprivileged user directory but the daemon is executed by root, it’s possible for the unprivileged user to change the config file and escalate permissions when root later runs the daemon. EPSS estimates a 0.22% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
