What it is
The record does not classify the weakness yet; the description below says what the reporter found.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects, change data or behaviour and take it offline.
Is it being exploited?
CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-10-21: it is being exploited in the wild. It can be exploited automatically, at scale. EPSS estimates a 3.8% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 90% of scored CVEs.
What to do
- Treat it as urgent: it is on CISA's KEV list. CISA's deadline for US federal agencies: 2024-11-11.
- Upgrade ScienceLogic SL1 to a fixed version for your release line (12.1.3, 12.2.3, 12.3).
- Until it is patched, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.
- Check exposed instances for signs of compromise, not only for the version.

What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- ScienceLogic SL1. Start from where it runs and what it is connected to.
Trust boundaries in play
- Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does ScienceLogic SL1 run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
