Description

CVE-2024-56362 affects Navidrome, an open-source music server, by storing the JWT secret in plain text within the navidrome.db database file. This exposes the secret to unauthorized access, potentially allowing attackers to impersonate users or compromise the system. While the CVSS score is 7.1, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, indicating a moderate level of risk.

Key Insights

• Plaintext Storage: The vulnerability stems from storing the JWT secret in plain text within the database file. This makes it easily accessible to anyone who can gain access to the file, including malicious actors.
• Potential for Impersonation: An attacker with access to the secret can generate valid JWT tokens, impersonating legitimate users and potentially accessing sensitive data or executing unauthorized actions.
• Data Breach Risk: The exposure of the JWT secret could lead to a data breach, as attackers could potentially use it to access other sensitive information stored within the Navidrome server.
• Exploitation Potential: While there is no information about active exploits or APT groups targeting this vulnerability, the ease of exploiting it makes it a potential target for opportunistic attackers.

Mitigation Strategies

• Upgrade to Navidrome 0.54.1 or Later: The vulnerability is fixed in Navidrome version 0.54.1. Updating to this version or a later one is the most effective mitigation strategy.
• Secure Database File: Implement robust access controls and security measures to protect the navidrome.db file. This includes limiting access to authorized personnel and securing the database server against unauthorized access.
• Regular Security Audits: Conduct regular security audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities within the Navidrome server and its associated systems.
• Implement Multi-Factor Authentication: Enable multi-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection and prevent unauthorized access even if an attacker obtains the JWT secret.
