goframe: Missing Validation of OpenSSL Certificate

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2024-41253 is a high-severity missing validation of openssl certificate vulnerability in goframe, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 out of 10. It can be exploited from the same local network by an unauthenticated attacker, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. Affected goframe versions: 2.7.2. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.12% 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. Check which version of goframe you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
  2. 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

goframe v2.7.2 is configured to skip TLS certificate verification, possibly allowing attackers to execute a man-in-the-middle attack via the gclient component.

Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.

The underlying weakness: Missing Validation of OpenSSL Certificate

The product uses OpenSSL and trusts or uses a certificate without using the SSL_get_verify_result() function to ensure that the certificate satisfies all necessary security requirements.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Ensure that proper authentication is included in the system design.
  • Understand and properly implement all checks necessary to ensure the identity of entities involved in encrypted communications.
