CVE-2024-57337: n/a in n/a
An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the opcode 500 functionality of M2Soft CROWNIX Report & ERS v5.x to v5.5.14.1070, v7.x to v7.4.3.960, and v8.x to v8.2.0.345 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via supplying a crafted file.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-57337 is an arbitrary file upload vulnerability affecting multiple versions of M2Soft CROWNIX Report & ERS software, specifically versions 5.x through 5.5.14.1070, 7.x through 7.4.3.960, and 8.x through 8.2.0.345. The vulnerability resides in the opcode 500 functionality, which improperly handles file uploads, allowing an attacker to supply a crafted file that can be uploaded and executed on the target system. This leads to arbitrary code execution without requiring authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-77, which relates to improper neutralization of special elements used in a command ('Command Injection'). The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5, indicating a medium severity level, with an attack vector of network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), and impacts on confidentiality and integrity (C:L/I:L) but no impact on availability (A:N). No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely by uploading malicious files, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data leakage, or system compromise depending on the privileges of the affected service. Given the nature of the vulnerability, it poses a significant risk to organizations using the affected versions of CROWNIX Report & ERS software, especially if exposed to untrusted networks or internet-facing environments.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2024-57337 could be substantial, particularly for those relying on M2Soft CROWNIX Report & ERS software for critical reporting and enterprise resource systems. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized code execution, which may result in data breaches, manipulation of reports, disruption of business processes, and potential lateral movement within corporate networks. Confidentiality and integrity of sensitive business data could be compromised, affecting compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations. The lack of required authentication and user interaction increases the risk of automated exploitation attempts, especially in environments where the vulnerable service is accessible over the network. This could lead to reputational damage, financial losses, and regulatory penalties for affected organizations. The medium CVSS score suggests that while the vulnerability is serious, exploitation may require some specific conditions or knowledge, but the absence of privileges or user interaction requirements makes it easier for attackers to attempt exploitation remotely.
Mitigation Recommendations
European organizations should immediately identify and inventory all instances of M2Soft CROWNIX Report & ERS software in their environment, including versions 5.x, 7.x, and 8.x series. Until official patches are released, organizations should implement strict network segmentation and restrict access to the vulnerable service to trusted internal networks only. Deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) or intrusion prevention systems (IPS) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious file upload attempts targeting opcode 500 functionality. Conduct thorough monitoring and logging of file upload activities and opcode 500 usage to detect anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. Employ application-layer filtering to validate and sanitize all uploaded files, ensuring only expected file types and sizes are accepted. Additionally, consider disabling or restricting the opcode 500 functionality if it is not essential for business operations. Organizations should maintain up-to-date backups of critical data and prepare incident response plans to quickly contain and remediate any potential compromise. Once patches become available, prioritize their deployment in all affected environments.
