12d_synergy_server: Unquoted Search Path or Element
CVE-2024-24722 is a critical-severity unquoted search path or element vulnerability in 12d_synergy_server from 12dsynergy, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists versions 4.3.10.192, 5.1.5.221, 5.1.6.235 as the first without the flaw, so updating 12d_synergy_server to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.61% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update 12d_synergy_server to 4.3.10.192 or 5.1.5.221 or 5.1.6.235, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Update 12d_synergy_file_replication_server to 4.3.10.192 or 5.1.5.221 or 5.1.6.235, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Update 12dsynergy to 4.3.10.192 or 5.1.5.221 or 5.1.6.235, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Read the advisory on help.12dsynergy.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
An unquoted service path vulnerability in the 12d Synergy Server and File Replication Server components may allow an attacker to gain elevated privileges via the 12d Synergy Server and/or 12d Synergy File Replication Server executable service path. This is fixed in 4.3.10.192, 5.1.5.221, and 5.1.6.235.

The underlying weakness: Unquoted Search Path or Element
The product uses a search path that contains an unquoted element, in which the element contains whitespace or other separators. This can cause the product to access resources in a parent path.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Properly quote the full search path before executing a program on the system.
- Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174). Such errors could be used to bypass allowlist validation schemes by introducing dangerous inputs after they have been checked.
