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: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
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: None: There is no impact to availability within 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.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-50857, organizations should first verify if they are running GestioIP version 3.5.7 and restrict access to trusted users only. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts within the application context. Limit the number of users with elevated permissions and enforce the principle of least privilege to reduce the risk of exploitation. Educate users about the risks of clicking on suspicious links or submitting untrusted input. Monitor application logs for unusual activity indicative of XSS or CSRF attempts. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting XSS payloads specific to GestioIP. Stay alert for official patches or updates from GestioIP developers and apply them promptly once released.

Description

The ip_do_job request in GestioIP v3.5.7 is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). It allows data exfiltration and enables CSRF attacks. The vulnerability requires specific user permissions within the application to exploit successfully.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-50857 is on the confidentiality and integrity of data within GestioIP environments. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability can steal sensitive information such as session cookies, user credentials, or configuration data, potentially leading to unauthorized access or privilege escalation. The ability to perform CSRF attacks further increases the risk by enabling attackers to execute unauthorized actions on behalf of legitimate users. Although availability is not directly affected, the compromise of user sessions and data integrity can disrupt normal operations and trust in the system. Organizations relying on GestioIP for IP address management may face increased risk of targeted attacks, especially if users with elevated permissions are compromised. The requirement for specific user permissions and user interaction limits the attack surface but does not eliminate the threat, particularly in environments with many privileged users or where social engineering is feasible.
