CVE-2024-33393 is a vulnerability identified in spidernet-io spiderpool versions 0.9.3 and earlier, where a local attacker can execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted command to access the token component. This vulnerability stems from insufficient access control and authorization mechanisms, as indicated by its association with CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) and CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management). The attacker does not require any privileges or user interaction to exploit this issue, but must have local access to the system running the vulnerable software. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality by potentially exposing sensitive token information, which could be leveraged for further attacks or unauthorized access. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.2 (medium severity), reflecting the local attack vector, low complexity, and high confidentiality impact, but no impact on integrity or availability. No patches or exploits are currently publicly available, but the risk remains significant for environments where local access is possible. The vulnerability highlights the importance of robust access control in local command interfaces within container networking solutions like spiderpool.

The primary impact of CVE-2024-33393 is the compromise of confidentiality due to unauthorized access to sensitive token components, which could lead to further privilege escalation or lateral movement within an organization’s infrastructure. Since the vulnerability allows arbitrary code execution locally without requiring privileges, attackers who gain any form of local access—such as through compromised user accounts or insider threats—can exploit this flaw to escalate their capabilities. This can undermine trust in container networking environments, potentially exposing critical workloads or data. However, the lack of impact on integrity and availability limits the scope of damage to data exposure rather than system disruption or data tampering. Organizations relying on spidernet-io spiderpool in multi-tenant or sensitive environments are at higher risk, especially if local access controls are weak or if attackers can gain initial footholds through other means.

To mitigate CVE-2024-33393, organizations should first verify if they are running spidernet-io spiderpool version 0.9.3 or earlier and plan to upgrade to a patched version once available. Until a patch is released, restrict local access to systems running spiderpool by enforcing strict user authentication and authorization policies, including limiting shell or command access to trusted administrators only. Employ host-based intrusion detection systems (HIDS) to monitor for unusual command executions or attempts to access token components. Implement network segmentation to isolate critical container networking infrastructure from less trusted users or systems. Additionally, conduct regular audits of local user accounts and permissions to minimize the risk of unauthorized local access. Finally, maintain up-to-date incident response plans to quickly address any detected exploitation attempts.
