What is CVE-2024-11947?

The GFI Archiver Core Service is vulnerable to a deserialization of untrusted data issue that can be exploited by remote attackers. By sending crafted requests to the service, which listens by default on TCP port 8017, an attacker can manipulate user-supplied data and execute arbitrary code on the affected system. Exploitation of this vulnerability requires authentication, potentially increasing the difficulty for attackers. This critical flaw emphasizes the need for robust input validation mechanisms to prevent such security breaches in software products.
