CVE-2025-24016 is a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability found in the Wazuh security platform, versions 4.4.0 through 4.9.0. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected Wazuh servers. The vulnerability arises from unsafe deserialization of DistributedAPI (DAPI) parameters. These parameters are serialized as JSON and then deserialized using the `as_wazuh_object` function. Attackers can exploit this by injecting a malicious, unsanitized dictionary into a DAPI request or response, leading to the execution of arbitrary Python code. This vulnerability can be exploited by anyone with API access, potentially including compromised dashboards, other Wazuh servers within a cluster, or even compromised agents, depending on the configuration. Wazuh has addressed this vulnerability in version 4.9.1. Users are strongly encouraged to update to this version to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Description
Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. Starting in version 4.4.0 and prior to version 4.9.1, an unsafe deserialization vulnerability allows for remote code execution on Wazuh servers. DistributedAPI parameters are a serialized as JSON and deserialized using `as_wazuh_object` (in `framework/wazuh/core/cluster/common.py`). If an attacker manages to inject an unsanitized dictionary in DAPI request/response, they can forge an unhandled exception (`__unhandled_exc__`) to evaluate arbitrary python code. The vulnerability can be triggered by anybody with API access (compromised dashboard or Wazuh servers in the cluster) or, in certain configurations, even by a compromised agent. Version 4.9.1 contains a fix.
