Acronis Cyber Infrastructure: Permissive Cross-domain Security Policy with Untrusted Domains
CVE-2023-2360 is a high-severity permissive cross-domain security policy with untrusted domains vulnerability in Acronis Cyber Infrastructure from Acronis, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 5.2.0-135 as the first without the flaw, so updating Acronis Cyber Infrastructure to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Acronis Cyber Infrastructure to 5.2.0-135 or a later version.
- Update Cyber Infrastructure to 5.2.0-135 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on security-advisory.acronis.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
Sensitive information disclosure due to CORS misconfiguration. The following products are affected: Acronis Cyber Infrastructure (ACI) before build 5.2.0-135.

The underlying weakness: Permissive Cross-domain Security Policy with Untrusted Domains
The product uses a web-client protection mechanism such as a Content Security Policy (CSP) or cross-domain policy file, but the policy includes untrusted domains with which the web client is allowed to communicate.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Define a restrictive Content Security Policy or cross-domain policy file.
- Avoid using wildcards in the CSP / cross-domain policy file. Any domain matching the wildcard expression will be implicitly trusted, and can perform two-way interaction with the target server.
- For Flash, modify crossdomain.xml to use meta-policy options such as 'master-only' or 'none' to reduce the possibility of an attacker planting extraneous cross-domain policy files on a server.
