Description

CVE-2024-54792 describes a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in SpagoBI v3.5.1. This vulnerability exists within the user administration panel, enabling an authenticated user to trick another user into executing unintended actions within the application. These actions could include adding, editing, or deleting users, potentially compromising user accounts and system integrity.

Key Insights

• Severity: While the CVSS score for CVE-2024-54792 is 6.1, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30. This discrepancy highlights the difference in the scoring approaches, with SVRS factoring in broader threat intelligence data. In this case, SVRS indicates a lower immediate risk compared to the CVSS score. However, the presence of the vulnerability in "The Wild" suggests active exploitation.
• Impact: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized user account modifications, potentially compromising system access and data integrity.
• Exploit Status: CVE-2024-54792 is currently being actively exploited in the wild. This means attackers are using this vulnerability to compromise systems.
• Threat Actors: No specific threat actors or APT groups have been publicly associated with the exploitation of CVE-2024-54792. However, the fact that the vulnerability is being exploited in the wild indicates active interest from malicious actors.

Mitigation Strategies

1. Patching: The most effective mitigation strategy is to promptly patch SpagoBI to a version that addresses CVE-2024-54792. This ensures the vulnerability is no longer present and protects against potential exploitation.
2. Input Validation and Sanitization: Implementing robust input validation and sanitization mechanisms can help prevent CSRF attacks. This involves filtering and validating user input to ensure it adheres to expected formats and does not contain malicious scripts.
3. CSRF Protection Mechanisms: Consider implementing CSRF protection mechanisms, such as CSRF tokens, to further enhance security. These mechanisms introduce unpredictable values into form submissions, making it difficult for attackers to craft malicious requests.
4. User Education and Awareness: Educate users about the risks of CSRF attacks and encourage them to be cautious when interacting with websites and applications. Emphasize the importance of reporting any suspicious activity.
