CVE-2024-26291 is an unauthenticated arbitrary file read vulnerability affecting Avid NEXIS E-series, F-series, PRO+, and System Director Appliance (SDA+) products before version 2025.5.1. The vulnerability stems from a lack of path validation in the 'filename' parameter within the Agent, allowing attackers to read arbitrary files. With a CVSS score of 8.7 (HIGH), this vulnerability is critical due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and the potential for attackers to gain sensitive information as the Agent runs with root/NT_AUTHORITY SYSTEM privileges. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
