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: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
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: 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.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 16 Apr 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.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-31760, organizations should first identify all instances of sanluan flipped-aurora gin-vue-admin 2.4.x in their environment. If you cannot patch yet, implement strict access controls to limit who can authenticate and access the administration interface, ideally restricting it to trusted networks or VPNs. Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce the risk of compromised credentials being used to exploit the vulnerability. Monitor logs and audit trails for unusual privilege escalation attempts or suspicious session behaviors. Consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block anomalous requests targeting session management endpoints. Review and harden session expiration and authorization logic in custom deployments or forks of the software. Additionally, conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on privilege escalation vectors within administrative interfaces.

Description

An issue in sanluan flipped-aurora gin-vue-admin 2.4.x allows an attacker to escalate privileges via the Session Expiration component.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-31760 is the unauthorized escalation of privileges within affected gin-vue-admin 2.4.x deployments. This can lead to attackers gaining administrative or higher-level access beyond their intended permissions, compromising the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data managed through the admin interface. Additionally, attackers could disrupt availability by modifying or deleting critical configurations or data. Organizations relying on this framework for internal or external administrative portals face increased risk of insider threats or lateral movement by attackers who have obtained limited access. Although no exploits are currently known in the wild, the vulnerability could be leveraged in targeted attacks against organizations using this software, especially if combined with other vulnerabilities or weak authentication mechanisms. The medium severity rating indicates moderate risk, but the potential for privilege escalation in administrative contexts makes it a significant concern for organizations with sensitive or critical infrastructure managed via gin-vue-admin.

CWE-266Incorrect Privilege Assignment (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessOWASP Top 10 A06:2025: Insecure Design (opens in a new tab)
A product incorrectly assigns a privilege to a particular actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
Architecture and Design · Operation
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Architecture and Design · Operation · Environment Hardening
Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment.
