CVE-2025-24016 Information

Description

Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention detection and response. Starting in version 4.4.0 and prior to version 4.9.1 an unsafe deserialization vulnerability allows for remote code execution on Wazuh servers. DistributedAPI parameters are a serialized as JSON and deserialized using as_wazuh_object (in framework/wazuh/core/cluster/common.py). If an attacker manages to inject an unsanitized dictionary in DAPI request/response they can forge an unhandled exception (__unhandled_exc__) to evaluate arbitrary python code. The vulnerability can be triggered by anybody with API access (compromised dashboard or Wazuh servers in the cluster) or in certain configurations even by a compromised agent. Version 4.9.1 contains a fix.
