CVE-2024-49705
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 · uneditedInternet Starter, one of SoftCOM iKSORIS system modules, is vulnerable to client-side Denial of Servise (DoS) attacks. An attacker might trick a user into using an URL with a d parameter set to an unhandled value. All the subsequent requests will not be accepted as the server returns an error message. Since this parameter is sent as part of a session cookie, the issue persists until the session expires or the user deletes cookies manually. Similar effect might be achieved when a user tries to change platform language to an unimplemented one. This vulnerability has been patched in version 79.0
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 confidenceSoftCOM iKSORIS Internet Starter module is vulnerable to persistent client-side DoS via the 'd' URL parameter. When an unhandled value is supplied, the malformed parameter gets stored in the session cookie, causing all subsequent requests to fail with errors until the session expires or cookies are manually cleared. A similar condition occurs when selecting an unimplemented platform language.

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 SoftCOM iKSORIS Internet Starter module versionLocate the application version information in the software's admin panel, about page, or version file. This is typically displayed in the software's header/footer or accessible via /about or /status endpoints.Affected if The installed version is below 79.0 (e.g., 78.x, 77.x, etc.)
-
Verify if the 'd' URL parameter accepts arbitrary inputSend a request to the application with an invalid value for the 'd' parameter, such as: example.com?d=invalidvalue. Observe if the application accepts this without validation and stores it in the session.Affected if The malformed 'd' value is accepted and subsequent requests fail with errors while the session persists
-
Inspect session cookie behavior after malformed inputAfter supplying an invalid 'd' parameter value, examine the session cookie (often named something like PHPSESSID, JSESSIONID, or a custom session identifier). Check if the malformed value appears stored within the cookie or associated session data.Affected if The corrupted parameter is persisted in the session, causing all subsequent requests to return errors until the session is cleared
-
Test unimplemented language selection functionalityNavigate to the language/platform selection feature and choose an unimplemented or invalid language option. Submit the selection and observe if it causes a similar error condition.Affected if Selecting an unimplemented language causes subsequent requests to fail with errors, mirroring the 'd' parameter behavior
-
Confirm session persistence of the failure conditionAfter triggering the error with either malformed 'd' parameter or invalid language selection, attempt additional normal requests within the same session to verify they also failAffected if Normal requests continue to fail within the same session and only resolve after session expiration or manual cookie clearing
A user is affected if they are running SoftCOM iKSORIS Internet Starter version below 79.0 AND have accepted a malformed 'd' parameter value or unimplemented language, resulting in persistent request failures within the session.

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 · scoped79.0
Upgrade to version 79.0 or later which contains the patch for proper input validation of the 'd' parameter and language selection.
79.0
- Identify the current version of Iksoris Internet Starter in use
- Download Internet Starter version 79.0 or later from the vendor's official source (www.iksoris.pl)
- Apply the upgrade following the vendor's standard upgrade procedure
- Verify that the vulnerability is resolved by testing with malformed 'd' parameter values and unimplemented language selections
- Ensure sessions are cleared or expire after the upgrade to prevent any lingering affected cookie states
