Technical Analysis

CVE-2024-22817 is a high-severity Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability affecting FlyCms version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in the endpoint /system/email/email_conf_updagte, which likely handles email configuration updates. CSRF vulnerabilities allow an attacker to trick an authenticated user into submitting a unwanted request to the web application, potentially causing unauthorized actions without the user's consent. In this case, the attacker could exploit the vulnerability to modify email configuration settings, which may lead to interception of sensitive communications, unauthorized email sending, or disruption of email services. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 indicates a high impact with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, but user interaction is necessary. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as unauthorized changes to email settings can compromise sensitive data, alter system behavior, and disrupt service. No patches or vendor information are currently available, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported as of the publication date.

Potential Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses significant risks especially for those relying on FlyCms for content management and email configuration. Unauthorized modification of email settings could lead to interception of confidential communications, phishing campaigns originating from compromised email configurations, or denial of email services critical for business operations. Organizations handling sensitive personal data under GDPR may face compliance issues if email confidentiality is breached. Additionally, disruption of email services can impact customer communications, internal workflows, and incident response capabilities. The ease of exploitation without authentication but requiring user interaction means phishing or social engineering could be leveraged to trigger the attack, increasing the risk profile for organizations with less mature security awareness programs.

Mitigation Recommendations

Given the lack of an official patch, European organizations should implement compensating controls immediately. These include: 1) Restricting access to the vulnerable endpoint through web application firewalls (WAF) with rules to detect and block CSRF attempts targeting /system/email/email_conf_updagte; 2) Enforcing strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers and SameSite cookie attributes to reduce CSRF attack surface; 3) Enhancing user awareness training to recognize phishing and suspicious links that could trigger CSRF attacks; 4) Monitoring logs for unusual changes to email configuration settings and implementing alerting mechanisms; 5) If possible, disabling or restricting the email configuration update functionality until a patch is available; 6) Conducting regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on CSRF vulnerabilities; 7) Segregating administrative interfaces and enforcing multi-factor authentication to reduce risk from compromised user sessions.
