CVE-2024-28752
CVE-2024-28752 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability affecting Apache CXF. This flaw enables attackers to make requests to internal resources from the server by exploiting the Aegis DataBinding feature. The SSRF vulnerability impacts versions of Apache CXF before 4.0.4, 3.6.3, and 3.5.8. Although the CVSS score is 0, indicating no base severity, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 38, suggesting a moderate level of risk because of real-world exploitability. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to access sensitive information or interact with internal systems. Users employing other data bindings are not affected. Organizations using vulnerable Apache CXF versions with Aegis DataBinding should prioritize patching to mitigate potential attacks and unauthorized access.
Description
CVE-2024-28752 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Apache CXF versions prior to 4.0.4, 3.6.3, and 3.5.8. It allows an attacker to perform SSRF attacks on web services that accept at least one parameter of any type. The SVRS for this vulnerability is 38, indicating a moderate risk.
Key Insights
- SSRF attacks can allow attackers to access internal resources and data. This can lead to data breaches, denial of service attacks, and other security breaches.
- The vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild. This means that attackers are actively using this vulnerability to target organizations.
- The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has warned of the vulnerability. CISA has issued a warning about this vulnerability, calling for immediate and necessary measures to mitigate the risk.
Mitigation Strategies
- Update Apache CXF to version 4.0.4, 3.6.3, or 3.5.8. This will patch the vulnerability and protect your systems from exploitation.
- Restrict access to web services that are vulnerable to SSRF attacks. This can be done by using firewalls, access control lists, and other security measures.
- Monitor your systems for signs of SSRF attacks. This can be done by using intrusion detection systems, log analysis tools, and other security monitoring tools.
