## CrowdSec analysis

[CVE-2024-32640](https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/vulnerability/CVE-2024-32640) is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in MASA CMS versions prior to 7.4.6, 7.3.13, and 7.2.8, specifically within the `processAsyncObject` method. This flaw can be exploited by remote attackers to achieve remote code execution, potentially leading to full system compromise.

CrowdSec has been tracking this vulnerability and its exploits since 10th of September 2025.

CrowdSec network observations suggest that most exploitation of CVE-2024-32640 involves focused reconnaissance to identify viable targets. Attackers typically tailor their campaigns based on system exposure and configuration. It is unlikely that a given attack is accidental.
CrowdSec network telemetry also shows that exploitation of CVE-2024-32640 has significantly declined over the past week. Attack volumes are well below the long-term average, suggesting attackers are rapidly losing interest. The vulnerability appears to be falling out of active use across most threat landscapes.

Attackers exploit the `/index.cfm/_api/json/v1/default/?method=processAsyncObject` endpoint by injecting malicious SQL payloads into the `contenthistid` parameter within POST requests. This technique targets the Mura/Masa CMS API to trigger SQL injection vulnerabilities.
