CVE-2024-6414

5.3 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability in Parsec Automation TrakSYS allows attackers to directly access export pages by manipulating the ID parameter, potentially exposing sensitive data. It affects TrakSYS 11.x.x installations and can be exploited remotely without authentication.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Parsec Automation TrakSYS
Versions: 11.x.x
Operating Systems: Windows (typical for TrakSYS deployments)
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects the Export Page component specifically; all default installations of affected versions are vulnerable.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Unauthorized access to sensitive exported data including configuration details, operational data, or proprietary information stored in export pages.

🟠

Likely Case

Information disclosure of exported content that should be protected, potentially revealing internal system details or operational data.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if proper access controls and input validation are implemented to restrict direct object reference access.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, making internet-facing instances particularly vulnerable.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal systems are still at risk from insider threats or compromised internal accounts, though attack surface is reduced.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploit details have been publicly disclosed and involve simple parameter manipulation; no authentication required.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Contact Parsec Automation for vendor-specific guidance and monitor for security updates.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules

all

Implement WAF rules to block requests to TS/export/contentpage with manipulated ID parameters

Access Control Restrictions

all

Restrict access to export functionality to authorized users only through authentication and authorization controls

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate TrakSYS systems from internet access and restrict to internal network only
  • Implement strict network segmentation and monitor for unusual access patterns to export endpoints

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test if direct requests to TS/export/contentpage with different ID parameters return unauthorized data

Check Version:

Check TrakSYS version through application interface or configuration files

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that direct object reference attempts are properly blocked or return appropriate access denied responses

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple failed or unusual requests to TS/export/contentpage
  • Access patterns showing sequential ID enumeration attempts

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual traffic to export endpoints from unauthorized sources
  • Patterns of parameter manipulation in HTTP requests

SIEM Query:

source="web_server" AND (uri="*TS/export/contentpage*" AND (status=200 OR status=403)) | stats count by src_ip, uri
