CVE-2024-57249 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.5) affecting filevista. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Incorrect Access Control in the Preview Function of Gleamtech FileVista 9.2.0.0 allows remote attackers to gain unauthorized access via exploiting a vulnerability in access control mechanisms by removing authentication-related HTTP headers, such as the Cookie header, in the request. This bypasses the authentication process and grants attackers access to sensitive image files without proper login credentials.
