Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 39/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 6.1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 93.4% of all records.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in the configuration file in SonicWALL GLobal VPN Client 3.1.556 and 4.0.0.810 allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the (1) Hostname tag or the (2) name attribute in the Connection tag. NOTE: there might not be any realistic circumstances in which this issue crosses privilege boundaries.
