Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 1 May 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

Immediately restrict external network access to the vulnerable Models/FormModel.php and QRModel.php components by implementing firewall rules, network segmentation, or access control lists to limit exposure.
Monitor web server and application logs for unusual or unauthorized access attempts targeting these components to detect potential exploitation attempts early.
Conduct a thorough code review and security assessment of the affected components to identify and remediate improper access controls or data exposure issues.
Engage with Vaales Technologies to obtain official patches or security updates addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly once available.
Implement web application firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to block suspicious requests targeting the vulnerable endpoints.
Educate development and security teams about secure coding practices to prevent similar information disclosure vulnerabilities in future releases.
Consider deploying intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) tuned to detect exploitation patterns related to this vulnerability.
If possible, isolate the affected application environment until a patch is applied to minimize risk.

Description

An issue in Vaales Technologies V_QRS v.2024-01-17 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via the Models/FormModel.php and QRModel.php component.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-24313 is unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, which can compromise confidentiality for organizations using the affected Vaales Technologies V_QRS software. Exposure of sensitive data can lead to privacy breaches, intellectual property theft, or leakage of credentials and configuration details that attackers could leverage for further exploitation. Although the vulnerability does not affect system integrity or availability, the confidentiality breach alone can have severe consequences, including regulatory fines, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure that rely on this software may face heightened risks. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the vulnerability increases the attack surface, allowing attackers to exploit it without prior access or interaction, potentially enabling widespread reconnaissance or data harvesting. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently limits immediate risk, but the lack of patches means the vulnerability remains open and exploitable once discovered by malicious actors.

Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
