Technical Analysis

CVE-2024-0949 is a critical security vulnerability identified in Talya Informatics Elektraweb software versions before 17.0.68. The vulnerability stems from multiple weaknesses: missing authentication mechanisms (CWE-306), files or directories accessible to external parties without proper controls (CWE-552), and the use of hard-coded credentials within the application (CWE-798). These combined issues allow an attacker to bypass authentication entirely, gaining unauthorized remote access to the Elektraweb system without requiring any privileges or user interaction. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network (AV:N), requires no authentication (PR:N), and no user interaction (UI:N), making it highly accessible to attackers. The impact is severe, affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability (all rated high), as attackers can potentially access sensitive data, manipulate system operations, or disrupt services. The absence of patches at the time of reporting increases the urgency for organizations to implement compensating controls. Elektraweb is used in various enterprise environments, and the presence of hard-coded credentials exacerbates the risk by enabling attackers to escalate privileges or maintain persistent access. Although no exploits have been observed in the wild yet, the vulnerability’s characteristics make it a prime candidate for exploitation by threat actors.

Potential Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a critical threat to the security of systems running Elektraweb. Unauthorized access can lead to data breaches involving sensitive or personal data, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. Integrity of business-critical applications may be compromised, allowing attackers to alter data or system configurations, potentially disrupting operations or causing financial loss. Availability may also be impacted if attackers leverage access to disrupt services or deploy ransomware. Sectors such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and government agencies using Elektraweb are particularly vulnerable. The lack of authentication and use of hard-coded credentials increase the risk of lateral movement within networks, potentially exposing broader enterprise infrastructure. The reputational damage and regulatory penalties resulting from exploitation could be significant for affected organizations.

Mitigation Recommendations

Organizations should immediately upgrade Elektraweb to version 17.0.68 or later once available. Until patches are released, implement network-level access controls to restrict external access to Elektraweb interfaces, such as IP whitelisting and VPN requirements. Conduct thorough audits to identify and remove hard-coded credentials from the application and configuration files. Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) where possible to add an additional security layer. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual access patterns or attempts to reach sensitive files and directories. Isolate Elektraweb servers from critical network segments to limit potential lateral movement. Regularly review and update firewall rules and intrusion detection/prevention systems to detect exploitation attempts. Engage with Talya Informatics support for guidance and monitor security advisories for patch releases and updates.
