CVE-2024-36037
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 · uneditedZoho ManageEngine ADAudit Plus versions 7260 and below allows unauthorized local agent machine users to view the session recordings.
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 authorization vulnerability in Zoho ManageEngine ADAudit Plus where local users on agent machines can view session recordings without proper authorization. The issue stems from insufficient access controls on session recording data, allowing unauthorized local agent users to access sensitive session data they should not have permissions to view.

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 ADAudit Plus versionLocate the installed ADAudit Plus version by checking the product about page in the management console, or by reviewing installation directories for version metadata files. Common paths include the program files directory or the application's build information.Affected if The installed version is 7.2 or any version prior to 7.2 (versions below 7.2)
-
Confirm session recording feature is activeAccess the ADAudit Plus administrative console and navigate to the session recording configuration section. Verify whether any session recording policies have been created and are currently enabled for any domain or agent machine.Affected if Session recording is configured and actively recording sessions on agent machines
-
Examine session recording storage permissionsLocate the session recording data directory on the ADAudit Plus server (typically found under the application's data or storage folder). Check file system access control lists to determine which local users or groups have read access to recorded session files.Affected if Local users on the agent machine or server have permissions to directly access the session recording files or database
-
Verify agent machine user accessReview the user accounts present on agent machines where ADAudit Plus agent is installed. Determine if non-administrative local users exist who could potentially access session recording data through file system paths or the ADAudit Plus agent interface.Affected if Local users other than designated administrators exist on machines with ADAudit Plus agents installed and session recording is enabled
A user is affected if ADAudit Plus version 7.2 or earlier is installed, session recording is enabled, and local users on agent machines have file system or application-level access to session recording data.

From vendor data7.2
Upgrade ManageEngine ADAudit Plus to a version above 7260. Until patched, restrict physical and logical access to agent machines and monitor access to session recording storage locations.
