CVE-2024-3263
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2024-3263 allows attackers to easily guess and brute-force passwords in YMS VIS Pro veterinary information systems due to weak credential generation and password policies. Successful exploitation leads to unauthorized access and execution of operations based on compromised user permissions. This affects VIS Pro versions up to and including 3.3.0.6.
💻 Affected Systems
- YMS VIS Pro
⚠️ Manual Verification Required
This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.
Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

- Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise allowing attackers to access sensitive veterinary and food administration data, modify records, and disrupt operations with administrative privileges.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to user accounts leading to data theft, record manipulation, and potential regulatory compliance violations.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper authentication controls, but still vulnerable to sophisticated attacks if weak passwords persist.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires authentication attempts but is trivial due to weak password policies and predictable credentials. Automated tools can easily brute-force accounts.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Versions after 3.3.0.6 with updated authentication mechanisms
Vendor Advisory: https://www.svps.sk/vis/
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Contact YMS/VIS Pro vendor for latest patched version. 2. Backup system and data. 3. Apply vendor-provided update. 4. Restart system. 5. Verify authentication mechanisms are updated.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Implement Strong Password Policy
allEnforce complex passwords with minimum length, special characters, and regular rotation
Enable Account Lockout
allImplement account lockout after failed login attempts to prevent brute-force attacks
Network Segmentation
allRestrict access to VIS Pro systems to authorized networks only
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network-level controls: firewall rules to restrict access, intrusion prevention systems to detect brute-force attempts
- Enable comprehensive logging and monitoring for failed authentication attempts and implement multi-factor authentication if supported
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check VIS Pro version in system administration interface or about dialog. If version is 3.3.0.6 or earlier, system is vulnerable.Check Version:
Check within VIS Pro application interface (no standard CLI command available)Verify Fix Applied:
Verify version is above 3.3.0.6 and test authentication with strong password policies enforced. Check for new authentication layers mentioned in vendor documentation.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Multiple failed login attempts from single IP
- Successful logins from unusual locations/times
- Account lockout events
Network Indicators:
- High volume of authentication requests to VIS Pro ports
- Traffic patterns consistent with brute-force tools
SIEM Query:
source="vis_pro_logs" AND (event_type="failed_login" COUNT BY src_ip > 10 WITHIN 5m OR event_type="successful_login" FROM new_geo_location)
