CVE-2024-51165 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in JEPAAS version 7.2.8, specifically within the /je/rbac/rbac/loadLoginCount API endpoint. The vulnerability arises from improper input validation and sanitization of the dateVal parameter, which is susceptible to injection of malicious SQL code. An attacker can remotely send specially crafted requests to this endpoint without needing any authentication or user interaction, exploiting the flaw to execute arbitrary SQL queries against the backend database. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of all information stored in the database, compromising confidentiality. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-89, a common and critical weakness related to injection flaws. The CVSS v3.1 score of 7.5 indicates a high-severity issue, with an attack vector of network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction (UI:N). The scope is unchanged (S:U), and the impact is high on confidentiality (C:H), with no impact on integrity or availability (I:N/A:N). No patches have been linked yet, and no known exploits have been reported in the wild as of the publication date. However, the vulnerability's characteristics make it a prime target for attackers seeking to exfiltrate sensitive data from vulnerable JEPAAS deployments.

The primary impact of CVE-2024-51165 is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data stored within the JEPAAS backend database. Successful exploitation allows attackers to retrieve potentially all database contents, which may include user credentials, personal information, business-critical data, or configuration details. This breach of confidentiality can lead to identity theft, corporate espionage, regulatory non-compliance, and reputational damage. Since the vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability, data manipulation or service disruption is not directly enabled by this flaw. However, the ease of exploitation—requiring no authentication or user interaction—and the network accessibility of the vulnerable endpoint increase the risk of widespread attacks. Organizations relying on JEPAAS 7.2.8, especially those handling sensitive or regulated data, face significant exposure. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently limits immediate impact, but the vulnerability is likely to attract attackers once public awareness grows.

To mitigate CVE-2024-51165, organizations should first verify if they are running JEPAAS version 7.2.8 or any other affected versions once identified. Immediate steps include: 1) Implementing strict input validation and sanitization on the dateVal parameter to prevent injection of malicious SQL code. 2) Employing parameterized queries or prepared statements in the backend code to eliminate direct concatenation of user input into SQL commands. 3) Restricting network access to the /je/rbac/rbac/loadLoginCount endpoint through firewalls or application-layer gateways, limiting exposure to trusted internal networks or VPNs. 4) Monitoring logs for unusual or suspicious query patterns targeting this endpoint. 5) Applying any official patches or updates released by JEPAAS vendors as soon as they become available. 6) Conducting a thorough security review and penetration testing focused on injection flaws across the application. 7) Considering deployment of Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this parameter. These measures collectively reduce the risk of exploitation until a vendor patch is applied.
