CVE-2024-10776
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 · uneditedLua apps can be deployed, removed, started, reloaded or stopped without authorization via AppManager. This allows an attacker to remove legitimate apps creating a DoS attack, read and write files or load apps that use all features of the product available to a customer.
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 · moderate confidenceThis is an authentication/authorization bypass vulnerability in the AppManager component where Lua applications can be deployed, removed, started, reloaded, or stopped without any authorization. An unauthenticated attacker can manipulate legitimate apps (causing DoS), read/write arbitrary files, and access all customer-available product features.

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 AppManager component and versionLocate the AppManager component in your environment and retrieve its installed version using the product's standard version command or configuration file (e.g., 'appmanager --version', checking manifest files, or reviewing the product's about/info panel).Affected if The installed version falls within the vulnerable version range for CVE-2024-10776 and has not been patched.
-
Confirm AppManager network exposureCheck network configuration to determine if the AppManager interface is accessible from network segments outside the trusted internal network. Review firewall rules, reverse proxies, or load balancer configurations that expose AppManager ports or endpoints.Affected if AppManager is exposed to untrusted network segments (e.g., internet-facing or accessible to less-trusted VLANs) without authentication enforcement.
-
Review for unauthorized Lua applicationsList all deployed Lua applications through the AppManager interface or by inspecting the application deployment directory. Compare against known, expected deployments.Affected if Unexpected or unauthorized Lua applications are present that were not deployed by authorized administrators.
-
Inspect AppManager audit and access logsExamine AppManager logs for successful operations (deploy, remove, start, reload, stop) that lack associated authentication tokens, session identifiers, or user credentials in the log entries.Affected if Log entries show Lua application operations performed without authentication credentials or with invalid/empty authentication context.
-
Check for unexpected file system modificationsReview file system changes in directories accessible to deployed Lua applications, particularly looking for newly created, modified, or deleted files that align with the timeline of potential exploitation.Affected if Arbitrary file read/write operations occurred in locations outside the expected Lua application sandbox, indicating the bypass was exploited.
A user is affected if AppManager is running an unpatched version within the CVE-affected range and is exposed to untrusted access, with evidence of unauthenticated app operations or unexpected file modifications.

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.
From vendor dataApply vendor-provided patches immediately to restore proper authentication enforcement in AppManager. Until patched, restrict network-level access to the AppManager interface to minimize exposure.
