CVE-2024-6364

Status: AnalyzedMedium (6.9)—

A vulnerability in Absolute Persistence® versions before 2.8 exists when it is not activated. This may allow a skilled attacker with both physical access to the device, and full hostile network control, to initiate OS commands on the device. To remediate this vulnerability, update the device firmware to the latest available version. Please contact the device manufacturer for upgrade instructions or contact Absolute Security, see reference below.

CVSS
