Availability: None

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: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
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: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 13 Nov 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

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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-2024-45877, organizations should immediately restrict access to the User Management module to only fully trusted administrators until a patch is available. Implement additional access control checks at the application and network layers, such as web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block unauthorized access attempts to BenutzerManagement.aspx. Conduct thorough audits of user permissions and monitor logs for suspicious activities related to user management functions. Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all administrative accounts to reduce the risk of compromised credentials being exploited. If possible, isolate the web portal in a segmented network zone with strict access controls. Engage with baltic-it for official patches or updates and apply them promptly once released. Additionally, conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on access control mechanisms to detect similar vulnerabilities proactively.

Description

baltic-it TOPqw Webportal v1.35.283.2 is vulnerable to Incorrect Access Control in the User Management function in /Apps/TOPqw/BenutzerManagement.aspx. This allows a low privileged user to access all modules in the web portal, view and manipulate information and permissions of other users, lock other user or unlock the own account, change the password of other users, create new users or delete existing users and view, manipulate and delete reference data.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-45877 is unauthorized privilege escalation within the baltic-it TOPqw Webportal, allowing low privileged users to gain administrative capabilities. This can lead to unauthorized access and manipulation of sensitive user data, including changing passwords, locking/unlocking accounts, and modifying user permissions, which compromises the integrity of the system. The ability to create or delete users and alter reference data can disrupt normal operations and potentially facilitate further attacks or insider threats. Although availability is not directly affected, the integrity violations can cause significant operational disruptions and loss of trust in the system. Organizations worldwide using this portal risk insider abuse, data tampering, and unauthorized administrative control, which could lead to compliance violations, data breaches, and operational downtime.

CWE-863Incorrect Authorization (opens in a new tab)
Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #17OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check.
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.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
