CVE-2024-10081 is a critical-severity authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel vulnerability in CodeChecker from Ericsson, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 10.0 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected CodeChecker versions: 6.24.1 and earlier. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 39.9% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is in the top 1.35% of all scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Check which version of CodeChecker you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Read the advisory on github.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
CodeChecker is an analyzer tooling, defect database and viewer extension for the Clang Static Analyzer and Clang Tidy. Authentication bypass occurs when the API URL ends with Authentication. This bypass allows superuser access to all API endpoints other than Authentication. These endpoints include the ability to add, edit, and remove products, among others. All endpoints, apart from the /Authentication is affected by the vulnerability. This issue affects CodeChecker: through 6.24.1.

The underlying weakness: Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel
The product requires authentication, but the product has an alternate path or channel that does not require authentication.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Funnel all access through a single choke point to simplify how users can access a resource. For every access, perform a check to determine if the user has permissions to access the resource.
