CVE-2024-57968
CVE-2024-57968 is a security flaw in Advantive VeraCore. Attackers can upload a file to Advantive VeraCore from anywhere, without logging in and make it run. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added it to its catalog of flaws known to be used in attacks on 10 Mar 2025.[1]
Advantive VeraCore is business software or equipment. Most families won’t have it, but attackers break into it to get inside companies, and from there to what those companies hold about their customers, patients and staff. Fixed in version 2024.4.2.1 of VeraCore.
Description
CISA calls it an unrestricted file upload in Advantive VeraCore. In its words: “Advantive VeraCore contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability that allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to upload files to unintended folders via upload.apsx.”[1]
The CVE record adds: “Advantive VeraCore before 2024.4.2.1 allows remote authenticated users to upload files to unintended folders (e.g., ones that are accessible during web browsing by other users). upload.aspx can be used for this.”[2]
The underlying weakness is unrestricted file upload (CWE-434), in MITRE’s list of common software weaknesses.
It scores 8.8 out of 10 on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System, which rates it high, scored by NVD using CVSS 3.1.[2]
Affected versions
NVD’s record lists one fixed version: everything before it is affected.[2]
| Product | Fixed in |
|---|---|
| VeraCore | 2024.4.2.1 |
Most families won’t have Advantive VeraCore; it’s for whoever looks after IT at work.
Exploitation
CISA added it to its catalog of known exploited vulnerabilities on 10 Mar 2025, 35 days after it was made public. CISA lists a flaw only when it has reliable evidence of it being exploited, and gave US federal agencies until 31 Mar 2025 to fix it.[1]
FIRST’s Exploit Prediction Scoring System, which estimates how likely a flaw is to be used in attacks in the next 30 days from what it sees across the internet, puts it at 32%. That’s in the top 2% of the flaws it scores.[4]
CISA assesses it as not automatable: each attack takes some work.
CISA doesn’t say who was attacked, or how.
Fix
Advantive has published a fix or advice.[3] CISA’s required action: “Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.”[1]
- Check whether you use it.Advantive VeraCore is business software or equipment, so most families won’t have it. If you run a business, or work from home on company equipment, ask whoever looks after your IT.
- Send this page to your IT person.Ask them to confirm it’s fixed (fixed in version 2024.4.2.1 of VeraCore), or not in use. CISA gave US government agencies until 31 Mar 2025 to fix it.
- If it can’t be fixed, take it offline.CISA’s advice when there’s no fix is to stop using the product, or take it off the internet, until there is one.
You can’t fix someone else’s server, but you can watch for what follows a break-in like this: a breach notice, a password reset you didn’t ask for, or a scam message that knows things it shouldn’t. HARD watches for those for you and your family.
