CVE-2024-6791

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—

A directory path traversal vulnerability exists when loading a vsmodel file in NI VeriStand that may result in remote code execution. Successful exploitation requires an attacker to get a user to open a specially crafted .vsmodel file. This vulnerability affects VeriStand 2024 Q2 and prior versions.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
