CVE-2024-51560
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability in Wave 2.0 allows authenticated attackers to trigger error messages containing sensitive information by sending invalid inputs to a specific API endpoint. The information disclosure could expose internal system details that might aid further attacks. Only authenticated users can exploit this vulnerability.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Sensitive system information, configuration details, or internal data structures are exposed in error messages, potentially enabling attackers to map the system architecture or discover other vulnerabilities.
Likely Case
Limited information disclosure revealing API structure, error handling mechanisms, or minor system details that could assist in reconnaissance for more serious attacks.
If Mitigated
Generic error messages without sensitive information are returned, preventing any meaningful information disclosure.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires authenticated access to the vulnerable API endpoint.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Not specified in available references
Vendor Advisory: https://www.cert-in.org.in/s2cMainServlet?pageid=PUBVLNOTES01&VLCODE=CIVN-2024-0332
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Monitor vendor channels for security updates. 2. Apply patches when available. 3. Test in non-production environment first.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Implement proper exception handling
allConfigure the application to return generic error messages without sensitive information when invalid inputs are received.
Restrict API access
allImplement network segmentation or access controls to limit which users can access the vulnerable API endpoint.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block requests with malformed userId parameters
- Enable detailed logging of API requests with userId parameter manipulation for monitoring and alerting
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Send API requests with invalid userId parameters to the vulnerable endpoint and check if error messages contain sensitive information.Check Version:
Check Wave application version through admin interface or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
After applying fixes, test with invalid userId inputs and verify only generic error messages are returned without sensitive details.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Multiple failed API requests with invalid userId parameters
- Error messages containing stack traces or sensitive information in logs
Network Indicators:
- Unusual patterns of API requests with malformed parameters
- Repeated requests to the vulnerable endpoint
SIEM Query:
source="wave_app" AND (message="*userId*" AND message="*error*" AND message="*exception*")
