CVE-2024-37364
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 · uneditedAriane Allegro Scenario Player through 2024-03-05, when Ariane Duo kiosk mode is used, allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information (such as hotel invoice content with PII), and potentially create unauthorized room keys, by entering a guest-search quote character and then accessing the underlying Windows OS.
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 confidenceAriane Allegro Scenario Player's kiosk mode in Ariane Duo allows bypass via entering a guest-search quote character, enabling physically proximate attackers to escape the kiosk interface and access the underlying Windows OS. From there, attackers can view sensitive hotel documents containing PII and potentially create unauthorized room keys.

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 Ariane software installationLook for Ariane Allegro Scenario Player or Ariane Duo software on the Windows system. Check Program Files, Program Files (x86), or the application listing in Control Panel Programs and Features for any Ariane-related applications.Affected if The Ariane Allegro Scenario Player or Ariane Duo software is installed on the system.
-
Confirm kiosk mode is enabledLocate the configuration files or settings panel for the Ariane software. Look for kiosk mode settings, typically found in scenario configuration files, settings XML files, or the admin panel of the application.Affected if Kiosk mode is enabled in the Ariane software configuration.
-
Verify guest-search functionality in kiosk modeAccess the kiosk interface and locate the guest-search field. In kiosk mode, attempt to interact with the guest-search input field. Check if the field accepts text input without additional authentication.Affected if The guest-search input field is accessible and accepts user input while in kiosk mode.
-
Assess physical access to kiosk deviceEvaluate whether the kiosk terminal is placed in an area where an attacker could physically reach the device, keyboard, or touchscreen to enter characters into the guest-search field.Affected if Physically proximate attackers can access the kiosk input mechanism.
You are affected if Ariane Allegro Scenario Player or Ariane Duo is installed with kiosk mode enabled and the guest-search field is accessible to physically proximate users without additional authentication barriers.

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 dataHarden kiosk mode to prevent escape via input injection, implement strict input sanitization for all guest-search fields, and consider additional physical security measures for kiosk hardware.
