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: 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: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 4 Jun 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

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-2024-4520, organizations should immediately audit and restrict access controls on the gaizhenbiao/chuanhuchatgpt application, ensuring that chat history data is accessible only to authorized users. Implement role-based access control (RBAC) or attribute-based access control (ABAC) mechanisms to enforce strict authorization checks on all requests for user data. Network segmentation and server hardening should be applied to limit who can access the application server. Monitoring and logging access to chat histories can help detect unauthorized attempts. If possible, disable or restrict the chat history feature until a vendor patch or update is available. Engage with the vendor or community to obtain or develop patches addressing the missing authorization. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on access control weaknesses. Educate administrators and users about the risks of insider threats and enforce strong authentication and authorization policies. Finally, ensure compliance with data protection regulations by implementing data minimization and encryption where feasible.

Description

An improper access control vulnerability exists in the gaizhenbiao/chuanhuchatgpt application, specifically in version 20240410. This vulnerability allows any user on the server to access the chat history of any other user without requiring any form of interaction between the users. Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to data breaches, including the exposure of sensitive personal details, financial data, or confidential conversations. Additionally, it could facilitate identity theft and manipulation or fraud through the unauthorized access to users' chat histories. This issue is due to insufficient access control mechanisms in the application's handling of chat history data.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2024-4520 can be substantial. Unauthorized access to chat histories can lead to exposure of sensitive personal and corporate information, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations, resulting in legal and financial penalties. Confidential business communications could be leaked, undermining competitive advantage and trust. Financial data exposure increases the risk of fraud and identity theft, which can cause direct financial losses and reputational damage. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation without authentication means that insider threats or attackers who gain server access can exploit it without raising immediate suspicion. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, legal, and government, which handle highly sensitive communications, face elevated risks. Additionally, the breach of personal data could affect employees and customers, leading to broader privacy concerns and regulatory scrutiny across Europe.

The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
Architecture and Design
Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records.

Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
