Scope: Unchanged
Confidentiality: Low
Integrity: Low
Availability: Low

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

Attack Vector: Local: The vulnerable component is not bound to the network stack and the attacker’s path is via read/write/execute capabilities. Either: the attacker exploits the vulnerability by accessing the target system locally (e.g., keyboard, console), or remotely (e.g., SSH); or the attacker relies on User Interaction by another person to perform actions required to exploit the vulnerability (e.g., tricking a legitimate user into opening a malicious document).
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: 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 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

To mitigate CVE-2024-42796, organizations should implement strict access controls on the /music/ajax.php?action=delete_genre endpoint, ensuring that only authenticated and authorized users can perform deletion operations. Network segmentation and limiting local access to trusted personnel can reduce the attack surface, given the local attack vector. Employing web application firewalls (WAFs) to monitor and block unauthorized requests targeting this endpoint can provide an additional layer of defense. Regularly auditing logs for suspicious deletion attempts and implementing alerting mechanisms will help detect exploitation attempts early. Until an official patch is released, consider disabling or restricting the vulnerable functionality if feasible. Additionally, applying the principle of least privilege to all users and services interacting with the music management system will minimize potential damage. Finally, maintain backups of music genre data to enable quick restoration in case of data loss.

Description

An Incorrect Access Control vulnerability was found in /music/ajax.php?action=delete_genre in Kashipara Music Management System v1.0. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to delete the valid music genre entries.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-42796 is the unauthorized deletion of music genre entries, which compromises data integrity and availability within the Kashipara Music Management System. Organizations relying on this system for cataloging or managing music metadata could face operational disruptions, loss of categorized data, and potential downstream effects on applications or services that depend on genre information. Although the confidentiality impact is low, the integrity and availability impacts are moderate because attackers can alter or remove data without authorization. Since exploitation requires local access, the threat is somewhat contained but still significant in environments where multiple users share network or system access. If exploited in a production environment, it could lead to data inconsistencies, user dissatisfaction, and increased administrative overhead to restore lost data. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk, but the lack of patches means the vulnerability remains open to future exploitation.

The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Operation
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
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.
