CVE-2024-46909 is a critical-severity vulnerability in WhatsUp Gold from Progress Software, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 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 2024.0.1 as the first without the flaw, so updating WhatsUp Gold to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 48.9% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is in the top 1.1% of all scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
