CVE-2024-9150 in Wyn Enterprise
Summary
by MITRE • 02/21/2025
Report generation functionality in Wyn Enterprise allows for code inclusion, but not sufficiently limits what code might be included. An attacker is able use a low privileges account in order to abuse this functionality and execute malicious code, load DLL libraries and executing OS commands on a host system with applications high privileges. This issue has been fixed in version 8.0.00204.0

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2024-9150 affects Wyn Enterprise's report generation functionality, representing a critical code execution flaw that enables privilege escalation through improper input validation. This issue resides within the application's report generation module where code inclusion mechanisms are improperly restricted, creating a pathway for attackers to inject and execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability specifically targets the code inclusion functionality that should have been limited to prevent unauthorized code execution, yet fails to adequately validate or sanitize user inputs that determine what code gets included in generated reports.
The technical implementation of this vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation and code execution restrictions within the report generation engine. Attackers with low privilege accounts can exploit this weakness by crafting malicious inputs that bypass existing security controls, allowing them to include arbitrary code that gets executed within the application's execution context. This flaw operates under the principle of insufficient input sanitization and inadequate access control mechanisms, enabling unauthorized code execution that can load dynamic link libraries and execute operating system commands with the elevated privileges of the host application. The vulnerability essentially creates a code injection vector where attacker-controlled code can be executed in the context of a high-privilege process.
The operational impact of CVE-2024-9150 is severe and multifaceted, as it enables attackers to perform privilege escalation attacks that can compromise entire host systems. When exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to execute malicious code, load unauthorized DLL libraries, and run operating system commands with elevated privileges that the application normally possesses. This creates a significant risk for organizations using Wyn Enterprise, as successful exploitation can lead to complete system compromise, data exfiltration, and persistent access within the network. The vulnerability particularly affects environments where the application runs with high privileges, as the code execution occurs within a privileged context that can be leveraged for further attacks.
Organizations should immediately upgrade to version 8.0.00204.0 to remediate this vulnerability, as this update contains the necessary patches and code restrictions that prevent unauthorized code inclusion. The fix addresses the root cause by implementing proper input validation and code execution restrictions within the report generation functionality. Security teams should also implement additional monitoring and access controls around report generation features, particularly in environments where multiple user roles exist. This vulnerability aligns with CWE-94, which describes "Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')" and demonstrates characteristics consistent with ATT&CK technique T1059.001 for command and scripting interpreter. Organizations should conduct comprehensive security assessments of their report generation workflows and consider implementing network segmentation to limit potential attack vectors, while also ensuring that applications run with minimal required privileges to reduce the impact of such vulnerabilities.
