DestinyECM: Cross-Site Request Forgery

CVE-2024-11071 is a high-severity cross-site request forgery vulnerability in DestinyECM from Cyberdigm, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. The record lists versions 5.24.10.2303, 5.23.12.2450, 5.23.08.2451 as the first without the flaw, so updating DestinyECM to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.2% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Next patch cycle

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Update DestinyECM to 5.24.10.2303 or 5.23.12.2450 or 5.23.08.2451 or 5.22.12.2446, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
  2. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
  3. Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.

Official description

Permissive Cross-domain Policy with Untrusted Domains vulnerability in local API server of DestinyECM solution(versions described below) which is developed and maintained by Cyberdigm may allow Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack, which probabilistically enables JSON Hijacking (aka JavaScript Hijacking) via forgery web page.* Due to product customization, version information may differ from the following version description. For further inquiries, please contact the vendor.

The underlying weakness: Cross-Site Request Forgery

The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. For example, use anti-CSRF packages such as the OWASP CSRFGuard. Another example is the ESAPI Session Management control, which includes a component for CSRF.
  • Ensure that the application is free of cross-site scripting issues (CWE-79), because most CSRF defenses can be bypassed using attacker-controlled script.
  • Generate a unique nonce for each form, place the nonce into the form, and verify the nonce upon receipt of the form. Be sure that the nonce is not predictable (CWE-330).
