Executive Summary

This vulnerability occurs because the ConnectWise Automate Agent does not fully verify the authenticity of files it downloads from the server, such as updates, dependencies, and integrations. As a result, an attacker positioned on the network path could perform a man-in-the-middle attack and replace legitimate files with malicious ones by pretending to be the legitimate server. The risk is reduced if HTTPS is enforced.
