CVE-2024-10314
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIn Helix Core versions prior to 2024.2, an unauthenticated remote Denial of Service (DoS) via the auto-generation function was identified. Reported by Karol Więsek.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceAn unauthenticated remote Denial of Service vulnerability exists in Helix Core (Perforce) versions prior to 2024.2. Attackers can exploit the auto-generation function to crash the service without any authentication credentials, causing service disruption.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Helix Core versionRun 'p4d -V' or check the version through the Perforce admin tools to determine the installed version numberAffected if Installed version is earlier than 2024.2 (e.g., 2024.1, 2023.x, earlier)
-
Confirm auto-generation feature is activeReview Perforce triggers, forms, or custom scripts that utilize auto-generation functions (such as formout triggers or field auto-fill)Affected if Auto-generation functionality is configured or enabled on the server
-
Verify network accessibilityCheck if the Perforce service (default port 1666) is exposed to untrusted networks or the internet without firewall restrictionsAffected if The service port is reachable from untrusted networks without authentication requirements
-
Check for recent service crashesReview server logs (p4d log files) for unexpected crashes or restart events around the time of potential exploitationAffected if Unexplained service disruptions or crashes occurred without known causes
The environment is affected if Helix Core version is earlier than 2024.2 AND the auto-generation feature is enabled AND the service is network-accessible to unauthenticated users.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade Helix Core to version 2024.2 or later to patch the vulnerability.
Helix Core 2024.2
- 1. Back up your current Helix Core server configuration and depot files
- 2. Download Helix Core version 2024.2 or later from the Perforce downloads portal
- 3. Install the new version following Perforce's standard upgrade documentation
- 4. Restart the Perforce Helix Core service after installation
- 5. Verify the server is running the updated version using 'p4 info' or 'p4 -V'
