CVE-2024-13151: Critical SQL Injection Vulnerability in Logo Software Diva

Ameeba’s Mission: Our mission is to safeguard freedom from surveillance through anonymization.

Overview

The CVE-2024-13151 is a critical security vulnerability that affects Logo Software Diva all versions through 4.56.00.00. This vulnerability, categorized as ‘SQL Injection’, enables unauthorized bypass of security mechanisms through user-controlled SQL Primary Key. The exploitation of this flaw could lead to potential system compromise or data leakage. As SQL injection vulnerabilities are a common and potent threat in web applications, it is vitally important for organizations using Logo Software Diva to address this issue immediately.

How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability stems from the improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command within Logo Software Diva. This allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL statements, which can be included in plaintext user input. An attacker could exploit this flaw to bypass authorization, thereby gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data or potentially compromising the system.

Conceptual Example Code

Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This is a sample HTTP request that includes a malicious SQL statement:

POST /diva_endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"user_key": "admin'; DROP TABLE users; --"
}

In this example, the attacker injects a malicious SQL statement (`DROP TABLE users`) into the user_key parameter. This would result in deletion of the ‘users’ table from the database, if successfully executed.

Mitigation and Prevention

To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the vendor’s patch. In the absence of a patch, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as temporary mitigation. Additionally, implementing input validation, using parameterized queries or prepared statements, and adhering to least privilege principles can further harden systems against SQL injection vulnerabilities.
