Command Centre Server: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File
CVE-2024-42407 is a high-severity insertion of sensitive information into log file vulnerability in Command Centre Server from Gallagher, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists versions 9.10.2149 (MR4), 9.00.2374 (MR5), 8.90.2356 (MR6) as the first without the flaw, so updating Command Centre Server to one of those releases or later removes the exposure.
