CVE-2024-38465
Guoxinled
CVE-2024-38465 is a username enumeration vulnerability in Shenzhen Guoxin Synthesis image systems before version 8.3.0. This flaw allows attackers to identify valid usernames by observing differences in the server's response to incorrect username attempts versus general error messages. While the CVSS score is 5.3, indicating medium severity, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 52 suggests a moderate level of risk. Although it is not considered critical (SVRS above 80), the fact that it is "In The Wild" increases the urgency. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to further security breaches by facilitating targeted attacks. By knowing valid usernames, attackers can then focus their efforts on password cracking or other methods of unauthorized access. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading their systems to version 8.3.0 or later to mitigate this risk and prevent potential security compromises. Regular monitoring and patching are critical for maintaining a strong security posture.
