According to its version, the ConnectWise ScreenConnect Service remote access software installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 23.9.8. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
A path-traversal vulnerability which may allow an attacker the ability to execute remote code or directly impact confidential data or critical systems. (CVE-2024-1708)
An Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel vulnerability which may allow an attacker direct access to confidential information or critical systems. (CVE-2024-1709)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
