CVE-2024-41967
Missing Authentication for Critical Function (CWE-306)
Summary
A low privileged remote attacker may modify the boot mode configuration setup of the device, leading to modification of the firmware upgrade process or a denial-of-service attack. This vulnerability is related to missing authentication for critical functions.
Impact
The impact of this vulnerability is severe. An attacker can potentially modify the firmware upgrade process, which could lead to unauthorized changes in the device's firmware. This could result in compromised device functionality, installation of malicious firmware, or persistent unauthorized access. Additionally, the attacker could cause a denial-of-service condition, rendering the device unavailable. The integrity and availability of the affected device are highly impacted, though confidentiality does not appear to be compromised.
Exploitation
There is no evidence that a public proof-of-concept exists. There is no evidence of proof of exploitation at the moment.
Patch
Based on the provided information, there is no mention of an available patch for this vulnerability.
Mitigation
While no specific mitigation is mentioned in the provided data, general recommendations would include: 1. Implement strong authentication mechanisms for all critical functions, especially those related to boot mode configuration and firmware upgrade processes. 2. Restrict network access to the device, allowing only trusted IP addresses or networks to interact with these critical functions. 3. Monitor for any unusual activities or attempts to modify boot mode configurations. 4. If possible, disable remote access to boot mode configuration until a patch is available. 5. Keep the device's firmware and software up to date with the latest security patches when they become available.
