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: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
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: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

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 2026-10-26.

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 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.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-28141, organizations should implement several specific measures: 1) Apply any available vendor patches or updates as soon as they are released. 2) If patches are not yet available, deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block CSRF attack patterns and suspicious HTTP requests targeting Scan2Net. 3) Configure Scan2Net or its hosting environment to enforce strict SameSite cookie attributes to reduce CSRF risk. 4) Implement network segmentation to isolate Scan2Net devices from general user networks, limiting exposure. 5) Educate users about phishing and social engineering risks to reduce the likelihood of clicking malicious links. 6) Monitor logs for unusual administrative actions or account creations. 7) Consider additional authentication factors for administrative actions to reduce risk from forged requests. 8) Review and harden web server and application configurations to enforce origin and referer header checks where possible. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on compensating controls and user awareness tailored to this vulnerability’s exploitation vector.

Description

The web application is not protected against cross-site request forgery attacks. Therefore, an attacker can trick users into performing actions on the application when they visit an attacker-controlled website or click on a malicious link. E.g.an attacker can forge malicious links to reset the admin password or create new users.

Impact

For European organizations using Scan2Net, this vulnerability could allow attackers to perform unauthorized administrative actions by leveraging authenticated users’ sessions. This can lead to unauthorized user creation, password resets, and potentially full administrative control over the scanning infrastructure. Such control could disrupt document workflows, leak sensitive scanned data, or enable further lateral movement within the network. The impact on confidentiality is moderate due to potential data exposure; integrity is affected by unauthorized changes to user accounts and settings; availability could be impacted if attackers disrupt scanning services. Since Scan2Net is used in professional and industrial environments, disruption could affect business operations and compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR. The requirement for user interaction limits mass exploitation but targeted phishing campaigns could be effective. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate it.

Summary

CVE-2024-28141 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the Scan2Net web application developed by Image Access GmbH. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when a web application fails to verify that requests made to it originate from legitimate users, allowing attackers to trick authenticated users into submitting unauthorized commands. In this case, the Scan2Net application does not implement adequate CSRF protections, such as anti-CSRF tokens or origin checks. An attacker can exploit this by crafting malicious links or web pages that, when visited by an authenticated user, cause the user’s browser to send unauthorized requests to the Scan2Net application. Potential malicious actions include resetting the administrator password or creating new user accounts, which could lead to privilege escalation or unauthorized access. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3 (medium severity), reflecting its network attack vector, low attack complexity, no required privileges, but requiring user interaction. The impact includes limited confidentiality loss, integrity compromise, and availability disruption. No public exploits have been reported yet, but the vulnerability poses a significant risk if exploited. The affected product version is indicated as '0', which likely means all current versions or an unspecified version set are vulnerable. The vulnerability was published on December 11, 2024, and assigned by SEC-VLab.

Compound weaknessLikelihood of exploit: MediumCWE Top 25 (2025): #3OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation
Ensure that the application is free of cross-site scripting issues (CWE-79), because most CSRF defenses can be bypassed using attacker-controlled script.
Architecture and Design
Generate a unique nonce for each form, place the nonce into the form, and verify the nonce upon receipt of the form. Be sure that the nonce is not predictable (CWE-330).
