mfa: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
CVE-2024-37393 is a high-severity cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability in mfa from SecurEnvoy, 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 9.4.514 as the first without the flaw, so updating mfa to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 3.3% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 89% of scored CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update mfa to 9.4.514 or a later version.
- Update Multi-factor Authentication Solutions to 9.4.514 or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
Multiple LDAP injections vulnerabilities exist in SecurEnvoy MFA before 9.4.514 due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exfiltrate data from Active Directory through blind LDAP injection attacks against the DESKTOP service exposed on the /secserver HTTP endpoint. This may include ms-Mcs-AdmPwd, which has a cleartext password for the Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) feature.

The underlying weakness: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
The product transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Before transmitting, encrypt the data using reliable, confidentiality-protecting cryptographic protocols.
- When using web applications with SSL, use SSL for the entire session from login to logout, not just for the initial login page.
- When designing hardware platforms, ensure that approved encryption algorithms (such as those recommended by NIST) protect paths from security critical data to trusted user applications.
