AI Analysis

Impact

Zohocorp ManageEngine DDI Central versions prior to build 6201 contain a Keepalived configuration injection flaw in the high‑availability workflow. The vulnerability requires an authenticated operator‑level user and allows the attacker to alter the Keepalived configuration file. Because Keepalived runs with elevated privileges, a crafted configuration can lead to arbitrary command execution as root on the DDI Central host, effectively giving the attacker full control of the affected machine.

Affected Systems

The issue affects Zohocorp DDI Central version 6.2.0 build numbers below 6201. Administrators should verify if their deployment runs any of these builds.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates high severity, while the EPSS score is not publicly available, suggesting limited public exploitation data. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Exploitation requires local or network access to an operator‑level account, meaning privilege escalation from an authenticated user to root is the primary attack vector. Given the high impact and lack of published exploitation, the risk remains high for any existing systems that have not applied the fix.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest patch or upgrade DDI Central to build 6201 or newer to eliminate the injection vector.
  • Restrict operator‑level accounts from accessing or modifying the HA/Keepalived configuration files, and enforce least‑privilege policies for privileged users.
  • Monitor system logs for unexpected changes to Keepalived configuration files and for any signs of unauthorized root command execution.
