What is CVE-2024-2056?

The Artica Proxy exposes services running on the loopback interface, particularly the 'tailon' service, which runs with root privileges and listens on TCP port 7050. This configuration allows unauthorized access to sensitive data via the tailon service, enabling potential disclosure of file contents on the Artica Proxy. As such, administrators should take immediate steps to secure this service to prevent potential data breaches.
