No attacks have been reported in the wild.

The flaw only impacts Jamf Pro server meaning end users who run Mac and iOS devices managed by Jamf are not vulnerable. This is a patch that will mostly just concern admins who use Jamf Pro to manage their devices. Sketch motion graphics.

That said, if a company's Jamf Pro server is compromised, it's pretty much game over for any of that server's managed devices as well.

'This vulnerability does not pose a risk to private data or managed devices. It does have the potential to impact the integrity and availability of your web server,' Jamf product marketing manager Garrett Denney told customers.

'Cloud customers will be automatically upgraded during the upgrade window (Sept 28-29). Premium and Custom customers can contact their Customer Success representative to schedule an upgrade. On-premise customers can download the installer via the My Assets page on Jamf Nation.'

The flaw, which has not yet been assigned a CVE number, is exploited when an attacker sends network packages to a vulnerable box.

'A request containing specially crafted JSON that is sent to certain endpoints in Jamf Pro could result in the deletion of files on the server and/or Denial of Service,' Jamf CISO Aaron Kiemele said in a statement to El Reg.

'In affected versions of Jamf Pro prior to 10.14.0, these requests could also result in remote code execution.'

As Kiemele noted, the severity of the vulnerability depends on your version of Jamf Pro. For companies running versions 9.4 through 10.13, the risk is the highest as a successful attack will open the door to remote code execution.

On version 10.14 through 10.15, the attacker would be able to delete files on the server, but not install or execute code.
