CVE-2024-4836
CVE-2024-4836 allows unauthenticated users to download configuration files from Edito CMS web services, potentially exposing sensitive data. Versions 3.5 through 3.25 are affected, and the vulnerability was patched in releases dating back to January 10, 2014. Although the CVSS score is 0, the presence of active exploits and "In The Wild" tags highlight the risk. With a SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 30, while not critical, this CVE warrants attention, especially given the availability of exploits. Successful exploitation can lead to information disclosure, potentially compromising the entire system. Businesses using older Edito CMS versions should verify that the patch has been applied. The ability to access configuration files without authentication is a significant security flaw, making systems vulnerable to further attacks.
