# CVE-2024-50603: Aviatrix Controllers OS Command Injection Vulnerability

**Signal:** Exploited: patch now if you run it. CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Yes, if you run Aviatrix Controllers. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-01-16, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2025-02-06 ; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 98.5% , percentile 99.9: FIRST’s model estimates a 98.5% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 99.9% of all scored CVEs (very high). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.

## What it is

An issue was discovered in Aviatrix Controller before 7.1.4191 and 7.2.x before 7.2.4996. Due to the improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command, an unauthenticated attacker is able to execute arbitrary code. Shell metacharacters can be sent to /v1/api in cloudtype for listflightpathdestinationinstances, or srccloudtype for flightpathconnectiontest.

## Affected products (CVE record)

- Aviatrix Controller: < 7.1.4191, 7.2.0 < 7.2.4996

## Severity

- mitre CVSS 3.1: 10 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`

## Exploitation

- CISA required action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation active , automatable yes , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 98.52% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 99.9.
