Impact
Wazuh’s daemon, wazuh-modulesd, processes flatbuffer data for inventory synchronization. Before 5.0.0-beta3 an enrolled agent can send a verifier-valid DataValue message that omits the optional id field. The daemon dereferences the id without null checking, causing a crash. The crash results in a denial of service of the agent service, potentially disrupting monitoring and alerting functions.
Affected Systems
The vulnerability affects the Wazuh product, specifically the wazuh-modulesd service of all releases prior to 5.0.0-beta3. No other vendors or versions are listed. The CVE references the Wazuh repository commit that introduces the fix.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high impact. Based on the description, the likely attack vector is the intentional sending of a malformed DataValue message from an enrolled agent to the wazuh-modulesd service, which can cause a null pointer dereference and a crash. The EPSS score of <1% suggests a low probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
