CVE-2024-42679 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the Super easy enterprise management system version 1.0.0 and earlier. The flaw exists in the /ajax/Login.ashx component, where insufficient input validation allows a local attacker with limited privileges to inject malicious SQL commands. This injection can lead to arbitrary code execution on the affected system, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system and its data. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command). The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.8, reflecting high severity due to low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and full impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack vector is local, meaning the attacker must have some level of access to the system, but no user interaction is needed. No patches or official fixes have been released yet, and no known exploits are publicly reported. This vulnerability poses a significant risk to organizations relying on this software for enterprise management, as exploitation could lead to full system compromise and data breaches.

The impact of CVE-2024-42679 is substantial for organizations using the affected Super easy enterprise management system. Successful exploitation allows attackers to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or destruction, and disruption of enterprise management operations. This can result in loss of sensitive business information, operational downtime, and reputational damage. Since the vulnerability requires local access, insider threats or attackers who have gained limited system access could escalate privileges and fully compromise the system. The absence of patches increases the risk window, and organizations may face compliance issues if sensitive data is exposed. The vulnerability could also serve as a foothold for lateral movement within corporate networks, amplifying the overall threat.

Given the lack of official patches, organizations should immediately implement compensating controls. These include restricting local access to the affected system to trusted users only, enforcing strict access controls and monitoring for suspicious activity around the /ajax/Login.ashx endpoint. Input validation and sanitization should be reviewed and enhanced if possible, potentially through web application firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this endpoint. Network segmentation can limit the attacker's ability to move laterally if exploitation occurs. Regularly audit logs for unusual database queries or failed login attempts. Organizations should also engage with the vendor for patch timelines and consider temporary migration or isolation of affected systems until a fix is available. Educating internal users about the risks of local access abuse can further reduce exposure.
