CVE-2024-41107
Apache
CVE-2024-41107 is a critical security vulnerability in Apache CloudStack's SAML authentication. This flaw allows attackers to bypass SAML authentication by submitting spoofed SAML responses, potentially leading to complete compromise of user accounts. Although the CVSS score is 8.1, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 36, suggesting a lower immediate risk. However, the presence of "Exploit Available" and "In The Wild" tags indicate active exploitation. This means attackers have working exploits and are actively using them, increasing the urgency. Without signature checks on SAML responses, attackers can gain unauthorized access. Affected users should disable SAML authentication or upgrade to patched versions immediately to mitigate this serious threat. The absence of proper signature enforcement in SAML creates a significant attack vector.
Description
CVE-2024-41107 is a vulnerability in the CloudStack SAML authentication mechanism that allows an attacker to bypass authentication by submitting a spoofed SAML response without a signature. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.1 and an SVRS of 46, indicating a moderate level of severity.
Key Insights
- Exploitation in the Wild: Active exploits have been published for this vulnerability, indicating that it is actively being exploited by attackers.
- Complete Account Compromise: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to the complete compromise of resources owned or accessible by a SAML-enabled user account.
- Default Disabled: The SAML authentication feature is disabled by default, reducing the risk of exploitation. However, organizations that have enabled SAML authentication are at risk.
Mitigation Strategies
