CVE-2024-35164 is a critical vulnerability affecting Apache Guacamole versions 1.5.5 and older, where the terminal emulator fails to properly validate console codes from text-based protocols like SSH. This flaw allows a malicious user with access to a text-based connection to execute arbitrary code with guacd process privileges through specially crafted console codes. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (HIGH), it presents a significant risk due to its network attack vector and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, despite requiring high attack complexity and low privileges. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog.
