## Summary

Huntress security researchers have reproduced a proof-of-concept exploit for two critical vulnerabilities in ConnectWise ScreenConnect: CVE-2024-1709 (CWE-288, authentication bypass, CVSS 10) and CVE-2024-1708 (CWE-22, path traversal, CVSS 8.4). Over 8,800 servers were found running vulnerable versions on Censys.io. Cloud users are automatically protected, but on-premise users must immediately patch to version 23.9.8. Huntress has also deployed a temporary hotfix to over 1,000 vulnerable managed systems and issued detection guidance while urging administrators to apply the official patch as soon as possible.
