CVE-2024-52380
CVE-2024-52380 is an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in Softpulse Infotech's Picsmize, potentially allowing attackers to upload web shells. This flaw affects versions up to 1.0.0, posing a significant risk to web server security. Despite a low SVRS score of 36, indicating a moderate level of risk compared to critical vulnerabilities, the presence of "Exploit Available" and "In The Wild" tags suggests active exploitation in real-world scenarios. Successful exploitation could lead to remote code execution, data breaches, and server compromise. Organizations using Picsmize should promptly investigate and apply any available patches or mitigations to prevent potential attacks. The vulnerability's presence in the wild emphasizes the need for continuous monitoring and proactive security measures, even with a moderate SVRS score.
Description
CVE-2024-52380 is a critical vulnerability in Softpulse Infotech Picsmize, an image management software. The vulnerability, classified as CWE-434: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type, allows attackers to upload a malicious web shell to a web server, potentially granting them complete control over the server. This vulnerability is particularly concerning due to its ability to directly compromise the web server, bypassing typical security measures.
The SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) for CVE-2024-52380 is 42, indicating a moderate risk. While this score is lower than the critical threshold of 80, it underscores the potential for significant impact, especially considering the CVSS score of 10, which denotes the highest severity.
Key Insights
- Direct Server Compromise: This vulnerability allows attackers to directly upload malicious code to the web server, bypassing any existing security measures in place. This bypasses standard security protocols and facilitates a direct attack on the server itself.
- Potential for Remote Code Execution (RCE): A successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to remote code execution (RCE), allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code on the compromised server. This grants them full control over the server, enabling them to steal sensitive data, install malware, or launch further attacks.
- Impact on Sensitive Data: The compromise of the server could lead to the theft of sensitive data, including customer information, financial details, or intellectual property.
- Wide Impact: The vulnerability affects all versions of Picsmize from n/a through 1.0.0, indicating a wide range of potential targets.
Mitigation Strategies
- Upgrade to the Latest Version: Immediately update Picsmize to the latest version, which is likely to include a patch for this vulnerability.
- Disable File Upload Functionality: If the file upload functionality is not essential, temporarily disable it until the vulnerability is patched.
- Implement Input Validation and Sanitization: Implement robust input validation and sanitization measures to prevent malicious code from being uploaded to the server.
- Restrict File Upload Types: Configure the server to only allow uploads of specific, safe file types, minimizing the risk of uploading malicious files.
