Tripleplay: Cross-Site Request Forgery

CVE-2024-50705 is a high-severity cross-site request forgery vulnerability in Tripleplay from Uniguest, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 out of 10. It can be exploited from the same local network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 24.1.2 as the first without the flaw, so updating Tripleplay to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Official description

Unauthenticated reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Uniguest Tripleplay before 24.2.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary scripts via the page parameter.

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

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).
