How the Exploit Works
The exploit takes advantage of the broken authorization schema in the report module of nGeniusONE. An attacker can bypass the authorization checks, enabling them to access sensitive data and potentially compromise the system. This could be done by sending specially crafted network requests to the affected module.
Conceptual Example Code
Here’s a conceptual example illustrating how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability:
GET /report/12345 HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable-host.example.com
Authorization: Bearer compromised-tokenIn this example, an attacker uses a compromised token to access restricted report data.
Please note that this is a conceptual example for illustrative purposes only and may not represent the actual exploit code.
Mitigation
Users are advised to apply the vendor-provided patch to mitigate this vulnerability. If patching is not immediately possible, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used as a temporary measure to detect and block exploitation attempts. Regularly review and update security configurations to ensure the highest protection level against such vulnerabilities.
