CVE-2024-37567
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 · uneditedInfoblox NIOS through 8.6.4 has Improper Access Control for Grids.
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 confidenceInfoblox NIOS through version 8.6.4 contains an Improper Access Control vulnerability affecting the Grid management functionality. This access control weakness could allow unauthorized users to access or manipulate Grid operations, potentially leading to complete compromise of the DNS/DHCP/IPAM infrastructure.

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 installed NIOS versionLog into the NIOS admin interface and navigate to Help > About, or run 'show version' via CLI. Alternatively, check the version displayed on the login page or in system information screens.Affected if The installed version is 8.6.0, 8.6.1, 8.6.2, 8.6.3, or 8.6.4 (any version >= 8.6.0 and <= 8.6.4)
-
Confirm Grid management is in useNavigate to Grid > Grid Manager in the NIOS admin interface to determine if Grid management functionality is enabled and configured.Affected if Grid management is enabled and the NIOS version falls within the affected range
-
Review Grid admin account listCheck Grid > Grid Manager > Grid Properties > Administrators tab for any unauthorized or unexpected admin accounts, especially those with elevated privileges.Affected if Unexpected administrator accounts exist or privilege escalation has occurred
-
Inspect Grid management access logsReview NIOS audit logs or system logs for authentication attempts to grid management interfaces, focusing on failed logins from unfamiliar IP addresses or unusual access times.Affected if Logs show authentication attempts from untrusted sources or unauthorized grid management access
-
Check for exposed Grid management interfacesVerify network accessibility of TCP ports 7800-7802 (Grid member communication) and admin HTTPS port (443) from untrusted networks. Use 'show network' CLI command to review interface bindings.Affected if Grid management interfaces are reachable from untrusted networks while running an affected version
The environment is affected if Infoblox NIOS version 8.6.0 through 8.6.4 is installed AND Grid management functionality is enabled, regardless of network exposure.
