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: 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.

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-2024-54452, organizations should promptly upgrade Kurmi Provisioning Suite to versions 7.9.0.35 or later, or 7.10.0.19 or later, where the vulnerability is addressed. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict administrative access to the logsSys.do page using network segmentation, firewall rules, or VPN access controls to limit exposure to trusted personnel only. Implement strict monitoring and logging of administrator activities to detect any unusual file access attempts. Review and harden file permissions for the Kurmi user account to minimize accessible sensitive files. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block directory traversal patterns targeting the logsSys.do endpoint. Conduct regular security audits and code reviews focusing on input validation and file handling mechanisms. Educate administrators on the risks of credential compromise and enforce strong authentication methods, such as multi-factor authentication, to reduce the likelihood of account takeover. Finally, maintain an incident response plan to quickly address any suspected exploitation.

Description

An issue was discovered in Kurmi Provisioning Suite before 7.9.0.35 and 7.10.x through 7.10.0.18. A Directory Traversal and Local File Inclusion vulnerability in the logsSys.do page allows remote attackers (authenticated as administrators) to trigger the display of unintended files. Any file accessible to the Kurmi user account could be displayed, e.g., configuration files with information such as the database password.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-54452 is unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, including configuration files that may contain database passwords or other credentials. This can lead to further compromise if attackers leverage exposed credentials to access backend systems or escalate privileges. Although exploitation requires administrator authentication, insider threats or compromised admin accounts could exploit this vulnerability to extract confidential data. The exposure of sensitive configuration details can undermine the security posture of organizations relying on Kurmi Provisioning Suite for managing network or telecommunication infrastructure. While the vulnerability does not directly affect system integrity or availability, the confidentiality breach can facilitate subsequent attacks, including lateral movement or data exfiltration. Organizations worldwide using affected versions may face increased risk of data leakage, regulatory non-compliance, and operational disruption if attackers gain access to sensitive internal files. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, especially in targeted attacks or insider misuse scenarios.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #6OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
Architecture and Design
For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks…
Implementation · Input Validation
Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174).
