CVE-2024-7564 in Unified SecOps Platform
Summary
by MITRE • 08/06/2024
Logsign Unified SecOps Platform Directory Traversal Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Logsign Unified SecOps Platform. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the get_response_json_result endpoint. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose information in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-24680.

The CVE-2024-7564 vulnerability represents a critical directory traversal flaw within the Logsign Unified SecOps Platform that exposes sensitive system information to authenticated attackers. This vulnerability resides in the get_response_json_result endpoint, where insufficient input validation permits malicious users to manipulate file path parameters and access restricted system resources. The vulnerability's classification aligns with CWE-22, which specifically addresses directory traversal or path traversal issues that occur when applications fail to properly validate user-supplied input before using it in file operations. The attack vector requires authentication, meaning that an attacker must first establish valid credentials before exploiting the vulnerability, though this does not mitigate the severity of the potential information disclosure.
The technical implementation of this vulnerability demonstrates a fundamental lack of input sanitization within the platform's file handling mechanisms. When the get_response_json_result endpoint processes user-supplied path parameters, it fails to validate or sanitize these inputs against malicious path sequences such as ../ or ../../ which could allow attackers to navigate outside the intended directory boundaries. This flaw enables attackers to access files that should normally be restricted, potentially including configuration files, system logs, credential stores, or other sensitive data that could provide insight into the platform's internal structure and operational details. The vulnerability's impact extends to root-level access context, indicating that successful exploitation could potentially allow attackers to access system resources with elevated privileges.
The operational implications of this vulnerability are substantial for organizations relying on Logsign Unified SecOps Platform for security operations and monitoring. The information disclosure could reveal critical system architecture details, internal network configurations, or sensitive operational data that attackers could leverage for further exploitation. This vulnerability directly impacts the platform's security posture by potentially exposing the underlying system's file structure and sensitive data repositories. From an ATT&CK framework perspective, this vulnerability maps to T1083 (File and Directory Discovery) and T1566 (Phishing for Information) as attackers could use the disclosed information to craft more sophisticated attacks or identify additional system weaknesses. The requirement for authentication does not prevent the severity of the impact, as compromised credentials could lead to full system compromise.
Organizations should implement immediate mitigations including applying the vendor-provided patches or updates that address the input validation issue in the get_response_json_result endpoint. Network segmentation and access control measures should be strengthened to limit authentication access to only authorized personnel and systems. Regular security audits should verify that all file operations properly validate and sanitize user inputs to prevent similar vulnerabilities from being introduced. Additionally, implementing monitoring solutions that detect unusual file access patterns or path traversal attempts can help identify potential exploitation attempts. The vulnerability's classification as a directory traversal issue underscores the importance of input validation as a fundamental security control, with proper implementation of path validation being essential to prevent unauthorized file access. Organizations should also consider implementing principle of least privilege access controls and regular credential rotation to limit the potential impact of credential compromise.
