CVE-2024-23687
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 · uneditedHard-coded credentials in FOLIO mod-data-export-spring versions before 1.5.4 and from 2.0.0 to 2.0.2 allows unauthenticated users to access critical APIs, modify user data, modify configurations including single-sign-on, and manipulate fees/fines.
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 analysisA password or key is baked into the source or binary, so anyone who obtains the code obtains the credential. These are trivially found once the software is distributed. Remediation means removing the secret, rotating it, and loading credentials from secured configuration at runtime.

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 · scoped1.5.42.0.2
1.5.4 for version 1.x branches; 2.0.2 for version 2.x branches
- 1. Identify the currently running version of mod-data-export-spring in your FOLIO environment
- 2. If running version 1.x (< 1.5.4): Plan upgrade to version 1.5.4 or later
- 3. If running version 2.x (>= 2.0.0 and < 2.0.2): Plan upgrade to version 2.0.2 or later
- 4. Before deploying the upgrade, verify there are no credentials hardcoded in configuration files that should be externalized
- 5. Deploy the upgraded version
- 6. Verify the hard-coded credentials have been removed by reviewing the source code at the fixed commit or by testing that the previously vulnerable endpoint now requires proper authentication

The advisory tells you what broke. It rarely tells you what actually worked. If you’ve dealt with this one, that detail is what the next engineer is searching for.

- A config change or rule that shut the vector down
- A gotcha in the upgrade path that cost you an afternoon
