mirotalk_p2p: Improper Enforcement of Message Integrity During Transmission in a Communication Channel

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2024-44730 is a critical-severity improper enforcement of message integrity during transmission in a communication channel vulnerability in mirotalk_p2p from Mirotalk, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version c21d58 as the first without the flaw, so updating mirotalk_p2p to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

The underlying weakness: Improper Enforcement of Message Integrity During Transmission in a Communication Channel
