# Security digest: August 16, 2024

1 editorial brief.

## Take stock

- Check exposure: WhatsUp Gold CVE-2024-6670: Pre-Auth SQLi to Admin Takeover . Owners of WhatsUp Gold servers on any release before 2024.0.0, anyone still on a 2024.x build, and anyone whose WhatsUp Gold web console was reachable from the internet in 2024.
- None of it touches your stack? Then there is nothing to do today. That is a result, not a failure to read carefully.

## Editorial briefs

- **Check exposure** [WhatsUp Gold CVE-2024-6670: Pre-Auth SQLi to Admin Takeover](https://erroneo.us/security/briefs/whatsup-gold-cve-2024-6670-sql-injection/index.md): Fixed in August 2024 and exploited the day the exploit went public; make sure no WhatsUp Gold server is still on a 2023 or 2024 build, since 2024.0.0 is far behind later critical fixes, and hunt on any that sat exposed.

## Known exploited (CISA KEV)

None.

## Critical advisories

None.
