Electronic Official Document Management System: Improper Access Control
CVE-2024-6737 is a high-severity improper access control vulnerability in Electronic Official Document Management System from 2100 Technology, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 5.0.77 as the first without the flaw, so updating Electronic Official Document Management System to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.62% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 50% of scored CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Electronic Official Document Management System to 5.0.77 or a later version.
- Update electronic_official_document_management_system to 5.0.77 or a later version.

Official description
The access control in the Electronic Official Document Management System from 2100 TECHNOLOGY is not properly implemented, allowing remote attackers with regular privileges to access the account settings functionality and create an administrator account.

The underlying weakness: Improper Access Control
The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
- Compartmentalize the system to have safe areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area. Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
