CVE-2024-41710

Mitel 6800 Series, 6900 Series, and 6900w Series SIP Phones, including the 6970 Conference Unit, contain an argument injection vulnerability due to insufficient parameter sanitization during the boot process. Successful exploitation may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands within the context of the system.

What this means for your business

It affects Mitel SIP Phones. It matters if your company, or a supplier that handles your data, runs it.
Attackers are already using it. CISA added it to its list of flaws used in real attacks on 12 February 2025.
FIRST's prediction model gives it a 42% chance of attack attempts being seen in the next 30 days, ranking above 98% of all known flaws.

What to do

1Check whether your company or your suppliers run Mitel SIP Phones.
2If you do, follow CISA's required action below. No patch reference has been published yet.
3Treat it as urgent. US federal agencies must fix it by 5 March 2025. That deadline does not apply to private companies, but it shows how seriously CISA takes it.
4Because attackers have used it, check the affected systems for signs of a break-in, not only for the update.
