CVE-2024-54453
CVE-2024-54453: Path traversal vulnerability in Kurmi Provisioning Suite allows remote attackers to retrieve sensitive files. This security flaw affects versions before 7.9.0.35, 7.10.x through 7.10.0.18, and 7.11.x through 7.11.0.15. Attackers can exploit the DocServlet servlet to access any file within the Kurmi web application's installation folder, including potentially critical source code. Even with a SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 30, indicating a moderate risk, the potential for unauthorized access to application internals necessitates prompt investigation and patching. The ability to retrieve obfuscated and/or compiled Kurmi source code could expose intellectual property and create further exploit opportunities. Organizations using affected versions of Kurmi Provisioning Suite should prioritize updating to a patched version to mitigate this risk. The presence of the "In The Wild" tag suggests active exploitation or public availability of exploit code.
