CVE-2024-55509
Codeastro
CVE-2024-55509: SQL injection vulnerability in CodeAstro Complaint Management System v.1.0. Attackers can remotely execute arbitrary code and escalate privileges. This is achieved through the 'id' parameter in the 'delete.php' component. Despite the high CVSS score of 9.8, SOCRadar's Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, indicating the threat is currently not considered critical but needs monitoring. The vulnerability, categorized as CWE-89, allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries, potentially leading to data breaches or full system compromise. While the SVRS suggests lower immediate risk, organizations using CodeAstro Complaint Management System v.1.0 should still patch the vulnerability to prevent future exploitation. This is especially important as SQL Injection flaws can be easily exploited if the vulnerability is targeted, potentially leading to significant data breaches.
Description
CVE-2024-55509 is a SQL injection vulnerability affecting CodeAstro Complaint Management System v.1.0. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code and elevate privileges by exploiting the id parameter within the delete.php component.
While the CVSS score is 0, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 38, indicating a moderate level of risk.
