## CrowdSec analysis

[CVE-2024-6671](https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/vulnerability/CVE-2024-6671) is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in WhatsUp Gold versions prior to 2024.0.0, which can be exploited when the application is configured with only a single user. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the encrypted password of the user, potentially leading to unauthorized access and further compromise of the system.

CrowdSec has been tracking this vulnerability and its exploits since 30th of March 2026.

CrowdSec network observations suggest that most exploitation of CVE-2024-6671 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.
In addition, according to the CrowdSec network, attack volume against CVE-2024-6671 has dipped slightly compared to the previous week. Although still commonly targeted, the decline suggests a cooling-off period. Long-term relevance remains, but attention is waning.

Attackers exploit the SQL injection vulnerability by sending crafted JSON payloads to the `/NmConsole/Platform/Filter/DeviceStatisticalMonitors` endpoint, allowing them to retrieve and overwrite encrypted user passwords and bypass authentication on WhatsUp Gold systems.
