CVE-2024-4336
📋 TL;DR
Adive Framework 2.0.8 has a persistent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the admin tables add endpoint due to insufficient input encoding. This allows attackers to inject malicious scripts that can steal authenticated users' session details. Organizations using Adive Framework 2.0.8 for web applications are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- Adive Framework
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers steal administrator session cookies, gain full administrative access to the application, and potentially compromise the entire system or pivot to internal networks.
Likely Case
Attackers steal user session cookies to hijack accounts, perform unauthorized actions, or access sensitive data within the application.
If Mitigated
Script execution is blocked by Content Security Policy or other browser protections, limiting impact to specific functionality disruption.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires admin access to the vulnerable endpoint. XSS payloads can be crafted to steal session cookies.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://www.incibe.es/en/incibe-cert/notices/aviso/multiple-vulnerabilities-adive-framework
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Check vendor advisory for patch availability. 2. If patch exists, download and apply. 3. Test functionality after patching. 4. Monitor for any issues.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement server-side input validation and output encoding for all user-controlled inputs in the affected endpoint.
Content Security Policy
allImplement strict Content Security Policy headers to prevent script execution from untrusted sources.
Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict access to the /adive/admin/tables/add endpoint to trusted IP addresses only.
- Implement web application firewall rules to block XSS payload patterns.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if Adive Framework version is 2.0.8 and test the /adive/admin/tables/add endpoint with XSS payloads in parameters.Check Version:
Check framework documentation or configuration files for version information.Verify Fix Applied:
Test the patched version with the same XSS payloads to ensure they are properly encoded and do not execute.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual POST requests to /adive/admin/tables/add with script tags or JavaScript in parameters
- Multiple failed login attempts followed by successful admin login
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests containing <script> tags or JavaScript functions in URL parameters or POST data
SIEM Query:
source="web_server" AND (url="/adive/admin/tables/add" AND (param CONTAINS "<script>" OR param CONTAINS "javascript:"))
