CVE-2024-55088
Getsimple-ce
CVE-2024-55088: Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerability in GetSimple CMS CE 3.3.19. This SSRF vulnerability affects the backend plugin module, potentially allowing attackers to make unauthorized requests from the server. Although its CVSS score is 8.8, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, indicating a relatively lower level of immediate threat compared to more critical vulnerabilities. Despite not being a high-priority vulnerability, attackers could exploit this to gather sensitive internal information or leverage the server to conduct attacks on other systems. The presence of the "In The Wild" tag suggests there are known exploits and active attempts to leverage this vulnerability. This highlights the necessity for promptly patching and updating the GetSimple CMS to mitigate potential risks. Ignoring this vulnerability could lead to information disclosure or further compromise of the server and network.
Description
CVE-2024-55088 affects GetSimple CMS CE 3.3.19 and allows for Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) through the backend plugin module. While the CVSS score is 0, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 42, indicating a potential vulnerability requiring attention.
Key Insights
- Exploitable Through Backend Plugin Module: The vulnerability resides in the backend plugin module, potentially allowing attackers to execute malicious code or access sensitive information.
- SSRF Vulnerability: SSRF allows attackers to send requests from the server to internal networks or other web servers. This can be used for reconnaissance, data exfiltration, or even launching further attacks.
- Potential for Internal Network Compromise: The vulnerability could be exploited to gain access to internal systems and data, potentially compromising the entire network.
- Lack of Public Exploit: Currently, there are no publicly available exploits for this vulnerability. However, this does not preclude the possibility of targeted attacks or future exploitation.
Mitigation Strategies
- Update GetSimple CMS: Immediately update to the latest version of GetSimple CMS, which should address this vulnerability.
- Restrict Network Access: Limit access to the backend plugin module to authorized users only.
- Input Validation: Implement robust input validation to prevent malicious requests from being passed to the backend plugin module.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Utilize a WAF to detect and block potential SSRF attacks.
