C# vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
CVE-2024-55470 affects Oqtane Framework version 6.0.0, discovered and disclosed on December 20, 2024. The vulnerability is classified as an Incorrect Access Control issue that allows attackers to bypass passcode validation and gain unauthorized access to the application or restricted data. The vulnerability stems from insufficient server-side validation, as the application relies on client-side information for authentication (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability exists in the /api/Setting endpoint where the entityid parameter can be manipulated to bypass authentication controls. The issue arises from inadequate server-side validation of authentication and authorization mechanisms. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.5 (HIGH) with vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N (NVD, GitHub Gist).
Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized users to bypass authentication mechanisms and access sensitive user information. Attackers can retrieve sensitive data of any user and potentially escalate privileges. This can lead to data breaches, privacy violations, and regulatory non-compliance issues (GitHub Gist).
Mitigation and workarounds
A patch has been implemented that enforces proper access controls for user settings. The fix ensures that user settings are only accessible to individual users or administrators through proper server-side validation and role-based access controls. Organizations should implement robust authentication mechanisms, validate all input parameters, and maintain audit logs for monitoring unauthorized access attempts (GitHub PR).
