CVE-2024-42464
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 · uneditedAuthorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key vulnerability in upKeeper Solutions product upKeeper Manager allows Utilizing REST's Trust in the System Resource to Obtain Sensitive Data.This issue affects upKeeper Manager: through 5.1.9.
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 confidenceAuthorization bypass vulnerability in upKeeper Manager's REST API allows attackers to access sensitive data by manipulating user-controlled keys (IDOR). The REST API improperly trusts system resources without adequate authorization validation, enabling unauthorized access to sensitive information.

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.
-
Check installed upKeeper Manager versionAccess the administration interface or check the software documentation for the currently running version of upKeeper Manager. This is typically found in the About section of the web UI or via a CLI command if available.Affected if The installed version is lower than 5.1.10
-
Verify REST API exposureDetermine if the REST API component is enabled and accessible on the upKeeper Manager server. Check network configuration or service status to confirm the API is listening for requests.Affected if The REST API is enabled and exposed (the vulnerability requires the REST API to be active)
-
Review API endpoint authorizationInspect REST API endpoint configurations to verify whether authorization checks are properly implemented on endpoints that accept user-controlled object references or IDs.Affected if Authorization validation is missing or inadequate on API endpoints handling object references
You are affected if upKeeper Manager version is below 5.1.10 AND the REST API is enabled and accessible in your environment.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scoped5.1.10
Upgrade upKeeper Manager beyond version 5.1.9. Additionally, implement proper authorization checks on all REST API endpoints that handle user-controlled object references, and enforce principle of least privilege on API resources.
5.1.10
- Upgrade upKeeper Manager to version 5.1.10 or later
- After upgrading, verify that the authorization bypass vulnerability is resolved by testing that users cannot access resources belonging to other users via REST API endpoints
- Confirm the upgrade was successful by checking the product version in the administration console
