CVE-2025-24016Wazuh — unsafe deserialization in the distributed interface

Wazuh 4.4.0 up to 4.9.1 rebuilds objects from parameters sent between servers without checking them, so an attacker runs code on the platform that collects the organisation's security telemetry.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade Wazuh to 4.9.1 or later now; exploit code is public and the server holds agent keys, so rotate those and review what the cluster ran.
