CVE-2024-55457 is a directory traversal vulnerability in MasterSAM Star Gate 11, specifically affecting the /adama/adama/downloadService endpoint. By manipulating the file parameter, attackers can access arbitrary files on the server, potentially exposing sensitive information and compromising data confidentiality. This flaw could be leveraged in targeted attacks to retrieve configuration files, credentials, or other critical data stored on the affected system.

CrowdSec has been tracking this vulnerability and its exploits since 15th of April 2026.

Insights from the CrowdSec network reveal that the attackers trying to exploit CVE-2024-55457 are composed of a fairly even mix of opportunistic and targeted actors. Some attackers employ preliminary reconnaissance, while others use indiscriminate scanning. CrowdSec data also reveals a clear uptick in attacks involving CVE-2024-55457 over the past week. Activity is above the usual baseline, suggesting growing attention from attackers. This may reflect rising awareness, recent exploit releases, or expanded targeting efforts.

Attackers exploit the /adama/adama/downloadService endpoint by manipulating the file parameter with directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../../../../etc/passwd) to access sensitive files on the server.
