CVE-2024-2635
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2024-2635 exposes file paths through configuration pages in Cegid Meta4 HR that should not be internet-facing. This information disclosure vulnerability allows attackers to gather sensitive system information. Organizations using affected versions of Cegid Meta4 HR with these pages exposed to untrusted networks are at risk.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers obtain full file system paths and directory structures, enabling targeted attacks, reconnaissance for further exploitation, or data leakage of sensitive configuration details.
Likely Case
Information disclosure revealing internal file paths and system structure, which could be used for reconnaissance in multi-stage attacks.
If Mitigated
Minimal impact if configuration pages are properly isolated from untrusted networks as intended.
🎯 Exploit Status
Simple information disclosure requiring only access to the exposed configuration pages. No authentication bypass or complex exploitation needed.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Future releases will remove the vulnerable pages entirely
Vendor Advisory: https://www.incibe.es/en/incibe-cert/notices/aviso/multiple-vulnerabilities-meta4-hr-cegid
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No patch available. Vendor recommends removing internet-facing exposure of configuration pages. Future releases will eliminate the vulnerable pages.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Isolation
allEnsure configuration pages are not accessible from untrusted networks or the internet
Access Control
allImplement strict network access controls and firewall rules to restrict access to configuration pages
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to isolate Meta4 HR configuration interfaces from untrusted networks
- Deploy web application firewall (WAF) rules to block access to configuration page paths
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if configuration pages are accessible from untrusted networks. Attempt to access known configuration page URLs from an external network.Check Version:
Check Meta4 HR version through application interface or consult vendor documentationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify configuration pages are no longer accessible from untrusted networks or have been removed in updated versions.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual access patterns to configuration pages
- External IP addresses accessing configuration interfaces
Network Indicators:
- External requests to configuration page URLs
- Information disclosure in HTTP responses
SIEM Query:
source_ip IN (external_ips) AND url_path CONTAINS '/config/' OR url_path CONTAINS '/admin/' AND application='Meta4_HR'
