Paessler · Prtg Network Monitor · CVE-2019-11073
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
PRTG Network Monitor versions prior to 19.4.54.1506
**Description**
A Remote Code Execution issue exists due to insufficient sanitization when passing arguments to the `HttpTransactionSensor.exe` binary. This allows attackers to execute code. To exploit the issue, remote authenticated administrators need to create a new HTTP Transaction Sensor and set specific settings when the sensor is executed.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 19.4.54.1506, update to version 19.4.54.1506 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `HttpTransactionSensor.exe` binary until a patch is applied. Additionally, limit the creation of new HTTP Transaction Sensors to minimize the risk of exploitation.
