Exploitation evidence

CVE published 17 Dec 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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 2026-10-26.

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 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.

Description

An improper input validation vulnerability exists in the generic SSO login functionality of the Sympa product. This issue could potentially allow unexpected or malformed input to be processed, which may lead to security risks depending on the context of use. There is no CVSS score or vendor advisory available at this time.

Impact

The impact is not explicitly described in the available information. Improper input validation in authentication components can potentially lead to authentication bypass, injection attacks, or other security issues, but no specific impact details or confirmed exploit scenarios are documented for this vulnerability.

Summary

This vulnerability involves improper input validation in the generic Single Sign-On (SSO) login mechanism of Sympa. The lack of proper validation could allow attackers to submit crafted input that the system does not correctly handle. The exact consequences of this vulnerability are not detailed in the available data.
