CVE-2024-1708ConnectWise ScreenConnect — path traversal to code execution

ConnectWise ScreenConnect 23.9.7 and earlier let a request escape the directory it belongs in, which an attacker turns into code running on the remote-support server — and with it, reach into every machine that server manages.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade ScreenConnect to 23.9.8 or later now; ransomware crews use this, so treat an exposed server as compromised and audit the endpoints it manages.
