Microsoft Azure Monitor Agent < 1.37.1 RCE (CVE-2025-59504)

high Nessus Plugin ID 275452

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of Microsoft Azure Monitor Agent installed on the remote host is prior to 1.37.1. It is, therefore, affected by a Heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability which potentially allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Microsoft Azure Monitor Agent version 1.37.1 or later.
