AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-4428 is identified as a Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability (CWE-306) combined with Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in the Menulux Information Technologies Managment Portal. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to invoke critical functions that should require authentication and authorization, specifically enabling them to collect data as provided by users. The affected product versions include all releases up to May 21, 2024. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting that the vulnerability can be exploited remotely without any privileges or user interaction (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), but with limited impact on confidentiality and integrity (VC:L/VI:L) and no impact on availability. The vulnerability arises from the portal's failure to enforce authentication and authorization checks on sensitive functions, exposing user data to unauthorized access. No patches or fixes are currently published, and no known exploits have been observed in the wild. The vulnerability's exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, undermining user privacy and potentially enabling further attacks if sensitive information is harvested. The portal is likely used in enterprise or organizational contexts, making this a concern for data protection and compliance with regulations such as GDPR in Europe.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized data exposure, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection laws. The lack of authentication and authorization on critical functions means attackers can remotely access user-provided data without any credentials, risking confidentiality breaches. This could lead to reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and loss of customer trust. Organizations relying on the Menulux Managment Portal for managing sensitive or personal data are particularly vulnerable. The integrity of user data may also be compromised if attackers manipulate data collection processes. Although availability is not directly impacted, the indirect consequences of data breaches could disrupt business operations. The vulnerability’s ease of exploitation increases the urgency for European entities to assess their exposure and implement mitigations promptly. Sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government, which often handle sensitive data and may use Menulux solutions, face heightened risks.
Mitigation Recommendations
Given the absence of official patches, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include restricting network access to the Managment Portal using firewalls or VPNs to limit exposure to trusted users only. Deploying a reverse proxy or web application firewall (WAF) that enforces authentication and authorization before requests reach the portal can mitigate unauthorized access. Organizations should audit and monitor access logs for unusual or unauthorized data retrieval attempts. Implementing strict role-based access controls (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) at the network or application gateway level can further reduce risk. Regularly reviewing and updating user permissions and conducting security awareness training for administrators managing the portal are recommended. Once Menulux releases a patch, organizations must prioritize timely deployment. Additionally, organizations should prepare incident response plans to address potential data breaches resulting from exploitation.
