AI-suggested
The primary mitigation is to upgrade iris-web to version 2.4.24 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed. Until patching is possible, organizations should restrict access to iris-web to trusted users only and enforce strict authentication and authorization controls to minimize the risk of exploitation by insiders or compromised accounts. Implement monitoring and alerting on file deletion operations within the iris-web datastore to detect suspicious activity. Employ network segmentation and firewall rules to limit access to the iris-web platform from untrusted networks. Conduct regular audits of user permissions and review logs for anomalous behavior related to file uploads and deletions. Consider deploying application-layer protections such as web application firewalls (WAFs) that can detect and block suspicious mass assignment or path manipulation attempts. Educate users about the risks of credential compromise and enforce strong password policies and multi-factor authentication to reduce the likelihood of unauthorized access. Finally, maintain regular backups of iris-web data and system files to enable recovery in case of malicious deletion.
Description
Iris is a web collaborative platform that helps incident responders share technical details during investigations. Prior to 2.4.24, the DFIR-IRIS datastore file management system has a vulnerability where mass assignment of the file_local_name field combined with path trust in the delete operation enables authenticated users to delete arbitrary filesystem paths. The vulnerability manifests through a three-step attack chain: authenticated users upload a file to the datastore, update the file's file_local_name field to point to an arbitrary filesystem path through mass assignment, then trigger the delete operation which removes the target file without path validation. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.4.24.
