Executive ViewAI
Organizations using before 3.0.9 does not sanitize and escape a parameter face moderate risk from CVE-2024-9831, a SQL injection vulnerability rated CVSS 7.2. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or commands on affected systems, potentially leading to full system compromise.
