What is CVE-2022-24961?

Portainer Agent versions before 2.11.1 are susceptible to a vulnerability that allows an API server to remain operational even when it's not linked to any Portainer instance in recent days. This could potentially lead to misconfiguration and expose users to unnecessary risks, as dormant servers might still accept requests. Users are advised to upgrade to the latest version to mitigate the associated risks. For more details, visit Portainer's official blog and GitHub discussions.
