CVE-2024-40110
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2024-40110 is an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in Sourcecodester Poultry Farm Management System v1.0. Attackers can execute arbitrary code on affected systems without authentication by exploiting the productimage parameter at /farm/product.php. This affects all deployments of the vulnerable software version.

📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise allowing attackers to install malware, steal data, pivot to other systems, or establish persistent backdoors.
Likely Case
Attackers deploy ransomware, cryptocurrency miners, or data exfiltration tools leading to operational disruption and data loss.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if system is isolated, monitored, and has strict network controls, though exploitation attempt detection would still be needed.
🎯 Exploit Status
Public exploit code available on GitHub. Exploitation requires minimal technical skill due to unauthenticated nature and simple parameter manipulation.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None known
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Check vendor website for updates. 2. If no patch available, implement workarounds immediately. 3. Consider replacing with alternative software if vendor is unresponsive.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules
allBlock malicious requests to /farm/product.php with suspicious productimage parameter values
Access Restriction
allRestrict access to /farm/product.php endpoint using network controls or authentication
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Immediately isolate affected systems from internet and sensitive internal networks
- Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all traffic to/from vulnerable systems
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if /farm/product.php exists and accepts productimage parameter. Test with controlled payload if authorized.Check Version:
Check application files or documentation for version information (typically in readme or config files)Verify Fix Applied:
Verify /farm/product.php endpoint is either removed, patched, or properly secured with input validation📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual POST requests to /farm/product.php with long or encoded productimage parameters
- System command execution in web server logs
- Unexpected process creation from web server user
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /farm/product.php with shell command patterns in parameters
- Outbound connections from web server to suspicious IPs
SIEM Query:
source="web_server" AND uri="/farm/product.php" AND (productimage CONTAINS "system(" OR productimage CONTAINS "exec(" OR productimage CONTAINS "shell_exec(")
