CVE-2024-56134
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedImproper Input Validation vulnerability of Authenticated User in Progress LoadMaster allows : OS Command Injection. This issue affects: Product Affected Versions LoadMaster From 7.2.55.0 to 7.2.60.1 (inclusive) From 7.2.49.0 to 7.2.54.12 (inclusive) 7.2.48.12 and all prior versions Multi-Tenant Hypervisor 7.1.35.12 and all prior versions ECS All prior versions to 7.2.60.1 (inclusive)
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceCVE-2024-56134 is an authenticated command injection vulnerability in Progress LoadMaster where improper input validation allows an authenticated user to execute arbitrary OS commands. This affects multiple product lines across specific version ranges.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the installed LoadMaster product variantLog into the LoadMaster web interface and navigate to System Configuration > System Administration > Update & Licensing, or check the main login page banner for product name. Alternatively, access the LoadMaster CLI and run 'lmsetup' or check system info.Affected if The product is either Progress Multi Tenant Loadmaster or Progress Loadmaster (standard).
-
Determine the installed version numberIn the web interface, go to System Configuration > System Administration > Update & Licensing to view the current version. In CLI, use 'lmutil --ver' or 'version' command.Affected if Version is < 7.1.35.13 for Multi Tenant Loadmaster, or <= 7.2.48.12, or between 7.2.49.0-7.2.54.12, or between 7.2.55.0-7.2.60.x for standard Loadmaster.
-
Verify the management interface is network accessibleConfirm the LoadMaster web interface (typically ports 443, 8443, or HTTP port 80) is listening and reachable from network. Use 'netstat' or 'ss' on the LoadMaster host, or test connectivity from an external system.Affected if The management interface is exposed on the network (especially to untrusted networks).
-
Confirm authentication is enabled for the management interfaceCheck that user authentication is required to access the LoadMaster web interface. Verify that user accounts exist and login is enforced. In CLI, check that user access controls are configured.Affected if Authentication can be bypassed or the interface is accessible without proper access controls (though CVE requires authenticated access, the exposure increases risk).
You are affected if you are running any of the affected LoadMaster versions (Multi Tenant < 7.1.35.13, or Loadmaster in the version ranges specified) AND the management interface is network-accessible with valid user accounts.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped7.1.35.137.2.54.137.2.61.0
Upgrade LoadMaster, Multi-Tenant Hypervisor, and ECS to vendor-provided patched versions. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict administrative access to trusted personnel only and implement network segmentation.
Multi-Tenant LoadMaster: 7.1.35.13+ | LoadMaster: 7.2.54.13+ or 7.2.61.0+ depending on starting version | ECS: 7.2.61.0+
- 1. Identify the currently installed LoadMaster, Multi-Tenant LoadMaster, or ECS version using the web management interface or CLI
- 2. Based on your product type, determine the minimum fixed version required: For Multi-Tenant LoadMaster, upgrade to 7.1.35.13 or later; For LoadMaster 7.2.48.12 or earlier, upgrade to 7.2.54.13 or later; For LoadMaster 7.2.49.0-7.2.54.12, upgrade to 7.2.54.13 or later; For LoadMaster 7.2.55.0-7.2.60.1, upgrade to 7.2.61.0 or later
- 3. Review Progress LoadMaster upgrade documentation for your specific product version
- 4. Create a backup of the current LoadMaster configuration before upgrading
- 5. Schedule a maintenance window as upgrades may require brief downtime
- 6. Download the appropriate updated LoadMaster or Multi-Tenant LoadMaster firmware from the Progress Customer Portal or official distribution channel
- 7. Apply the upgrade following the documented upgrade procedure for your product
- 8. After upgrade, verify the new version is installed and confirm the web interface is accessible
