Description

CVE-2024-9134 describes multiple SQL Injection vulnerabilities present within a reporting application. An attacker with advanced report application access rights can exploit these vulnerabilities to execute commands on the underlying operating system with elevated privileges. While the CVSS score is 8.3, indicating a high severity, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 38, suggesting a lower urgency for immediate action.

Key Insights

• Exploitation Requires Privileged Access: This vulnerability requires an attacker to have advanced report application access rights. This means that the vulnerability is less likely to be exploited by external attackers and is more likely to be exploited by insiders or those who have gained unauthorized access.
• Potential for System Compromise: Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the operating system, potentially leading to full system compromise and data theft.
• Impact on Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability: The vulnerability affects all three pillars of information security:
  • Confidentiality: Sensitive data stored on the system could be accessed or exfiltrated.
  • Integrity: Data stored on the system could be modified or deleted.
  • Availability: The system could be rendered unavailable through malicious actions.

Mitigation Strategies

1. Patching: Apply the latest security patches for the reporting application to address the vulnerabilities.
2. Access Control: Implement strict access control policies to limit access to the report application to only authorized users with a legitimate need. Implement multi-factor authentication for access to the application.
3. Input Validation: Implement robust input validation measures to prevent malicious SQL code from being injected into the application.
4. Monitoring: Implement monitoring solutions to detect and respond to any suspicious activity related to the reporting application.
