CVE-2024-52305
CVE-2024-52305 in UnoPim allows for session cookie theft. This vulnerability involves the creation of a new admin user with the ability to upload a profile image, where a malicious SVG file can be uploaded. The embedded script within the SVG then executes when the image is accessed. While the CVSS score is 4.8, indicating moderate severity, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 49, suggesting a notable level of risk that shouldn't be ignored, even though it's below the critical threshold of 80. This is a significant security risk because successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized access to user accounts and sensitive data within the UnoPim system. Update to version 0.1.5 to mitigate this issue. The vulnerability highlights the importance of proper input validation to prevent malicious file uploads.
Description
CVE-2024-52305 affects UnoPim, an open-source Product Information Management (PIM) system. This vulnerability arises from a flaw in the user creation process, specifically in the profile image upload functionality. Attackers can exploit this by uploading malicious SVG files containing embedded JavaScript. When the profile image is accessed, the script executes, potentially leading to the theft of session cookies.
The SVRS score of 38 indicates a moderate level of risk. While not as critical as scores above 80, this vulnerability warrants immediate attention due to the potential for session hijacking and subsequent data breaches.
Key Insights
- Session Hijacking: The primary risk associated with CVE-2024-52305 is session hijacking. The embedded script can potentially steal session cookies, allowing attackers to impersonate legitimate users and gain unauthorized access to sensitive data and functionalities.
- Wide Impact: UnoPim, being an open-source PIM system, could be used by various organizations. This vulnerability poses a potential threat to all systems running vulnerable versions of UnoPim.
- Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): The exploitation technique leverages a classic XSS vulnerability, where malicious scripts are injected into trusted content.
- Simple Exploitation: The attack vector is relatively simple, requiring only the ability to upload a malicious SVG file. This makes it accessible to a wider range of attackers.
Mitigation Strategies
- Upgrade to the Latest Version: Immediately upgrade UnoPim to version 0.1.5 or later, which includes the fix for this vulnerability.
- Disable Profile Image Upload: If an upgrade is not immediately possible, temporarily disable the profile image upload feature as a precautionary measure.
- Implement Input Validation: Implement robust input validation mechanisms to prevent the upload of malicious SVG files.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Configure your WAF to block requests containing suspicious SVG files, including those with embedded scripts.
