CVE-2024-24721
CVE-2024-24721 is a brute force vulnerability discovered in Innovaphone PBX devices before 14r1. This flaw in the password authentication form allows attackers to potentially gain access to the administrative panel by repeatedly guessing passwords. While the CVSS score is 0, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 30 indicates a moderate risk, suggesting it shouldn't be ignored despite not being immediately critical. The vulnerability lies in the authentication mechanism, allowing persistent attempts to crack the password. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive PBX configurations and data. This security risk necessitates patching or mitigation strategies to protect Innovaphone PBX systems from potential compromise. The "In The Wild" tag also suggests that the vulnerability has been actively exploited, and it should be addressed as soon as possible.
Description
CVE-2024-24721 is a vulnerability in Innovaphone PBX devices before 14r1. It allows an attacker to perform a brute force attack on the password form used for authentication, potentially gaining access to the administration panel. The SVRS for this vulnerability is 46, indicating a moderate level of risk.
Key Insights
- Brute force attacks are a common method for attackers to gain unauthorized access to systems. By repeatedly trying different passwords, an attacker can eventually guess the correct one.
- The vulnerability is in the password form, which is a critical component of the authentication process. If an attacker can compromise the password form, they can bypass other security measures and gain access to the system.
- The vulnerability is particularly concerning because it affects Innovaphone PBX devices, which are widely used in business and government organizations. This means that a successful attack could have a significant impact on these organizations.
Mitigation Strategies
- Update to the latest version of Innovaphone PBX software. This will patch the vulnerability and protect your system from attack.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA). This will add an extra layer of security to your account, making it more difficult for attackers to gain access even if they have your password.
- Use strong passwords. Avoid using common passwords or easily guessable information.
- Monitor your system for suspicious activity. If you notice any unusual activity, such as failed login attempts or changes to your account settings, contact your system administrator immediately.
Additional Information
- There are no known active exploits for this vulnerability.
- CISA has not issued a warning about this vulnerability.
- The vulnerability is not currently being exploited in the wild.
