CVE-2024-29120
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 Streampark (version < 2.1.4), when a user logged in successfully, the Backend service would return "Authorization" as the front-end authentication credential. User can use this credential to request other users' information, including the administrator's username, password, salt value, etc. Mitigation: all users should upgrade to 2.1.4
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 confidenceIn Streampark before version 2.1.4, the backend returns an 'Authorization' credential upon successful login that can be reused to access other users' data through API endpoints, exposing sensitive information including administrator usernames, passwords, and salt values. This is a vertical privilege escalation/IDOR vulnerability allowing authenticated users to view other users' credentials.

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 the installed Streampark versionLocate the Streampark installation and check the version file or web UI footer. The version is typically visible in the application or can be found in configuration files within the Streampark deployment directory.Affected if The version is >= 2.0.0 and < 2.1.4
-
Verify the login API returns an Authorization tokenUse a tool like curl to send a POST request to the login endpoint (typically /api/user/login or similar) with valid user credentials. Inspect the response for an 'Authorization' field or token being returned.Affected if The login response includes an Authorization token that can be used for subsequent API requests
-
Test for IDOR vulnerability in user data endpointsAfter obtaining an Authorization token for a regular user, make API requests to endpoints that retrieve user information (such as /api/user/list or /api/user/info) and observe if the API returns data for other users including sensitive fields like passwords and salts.Affected if An authenticated user can access credentials, password hashes, or salt values belonging to other users through the API
Your environment is affected if the installed Streampark version is between 2.0.0 and 2.1.3 inclusive AND the login returns an Authorization token that permits access to other users' credential data through API endpoints.

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 · scoped2.1.4
Upgrade Streampark to version 2.1.4 or later to obtain the patched version with proper authorization controls.
2.1.4
- 1. Backup your current Streampark configuration, database, and any custom configurations.
- 2. Consult the official Streampark upgrade documentation for version 2.1.4 to understand migration requirements.
- 3. Stop the Streampark services.
- 4. Upgrade Streampark to version 2.1.4 following the official installation/upgrade guide.
- 5. Verify the upgrade by checking that the login response no longer returns sensitive authorization credentials in plain text.
- 6. Confirm that user authentication works correctly and that the vulnerability is remediated by attempting to access other users' information with an authorization token (the request should be denied).
- 7. Restart all Streampark services and monitor for any issues.
