CVE-2026-24832
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2026-24832 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in ixray-team's ixray-1.6-stcop software that allows attackers to write data beyond allocated memory boundaries. This can lead to arbitrary code execution, denial of service, or memory corruption. All users running affected versions of ixray-1.6-stcop are vulnerable.
💻 Affected Systems
- ixray-team ixray-1.6-stcop
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Remote code execution with SYSTEM/root privileges leading to complete system compromise, data exfiltration, and persistent backdoor installation.
Likely Case
Application crash leading to denial of service, potential information disclosure through memory leaks, or limited code execution in application context.
If Mitigated
Application crash with no data loss if proper segmentation and privilege separation are implemented.
🎯 Exploit Status
Out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities typically have low exploitation complexity, especially with CVSS 9.8 rating suggesting trivial exploitation.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 1.3 or later
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/ixray-team/ixray-1.6-stcop/pull/257
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Download version 1.3 or later from official repository. 2. Stop the ixray-1.6-stcop service. 3. Replace the binary with patched version. 4. Restart the service. 5. Verify successful update.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Segmentation
linuxRestrict network access to ixray-1.6-stcop instances using firewall rules
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [ixray-port] -s [trusted-networks] -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [ixray-port] -j DROP
Process Isolation
linuxRun ixray-1.6-stcop in container or with reduced privileges
docker run --cap-drop=ALL --security-opt=no-new-privileges ixray-team/ixray-1.6-stcop:latest
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Disable or remove ixray-1.6-stcop from production systems immediately
- Implement strict network access controls and monitor for exploitation attempts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check current version: ./ixray-1.6-stcop --version or examine binary metadata. If version is below 1.3, system is vulnerable.Check Version:
./ixray-1.6-stcop --version | grep -i versionVerify Fix Applied:
Verify version is 1.3 or higher and test basic functionality. Monitor logs for any crash or abnormal behavior.📡 Detection & Monitoring
