CVE-2024-49706
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 Open Redirect attacks by including base64 encoded URLs in the target parameter sent in a POST request to one of the endpoints. 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 confidenceThe Internet Starter module in SoftCOM iKSORIS contains an open redirect vulnerability where the target parameter in POST requests accepts base64 encoded URLs, allowing attackers to redirect users to arbitrary external sites.

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 installed Iksoris versionAccess the admin interface or check system configuration files for the software version number. Look for version information in the system about page, config files, or HTTP server headers.Affected if The version is below 79.0 (for example, 78.x or earlier)
-
Confirm the Internet Starter module is enabledCheck the web application configuration or module settings to determine if the Internet Starter module is activated and accessible.Affected if The Internet Starter module is enabled and exposed to users
-
Locate the vulnerable POST endpointIdentify if POST requests to the Internet Starter module are accepted. Look for forms or API endpoints that accept a 'target' or 'url' parameter.Affected if The endpoint accepting base64 encoded URLs in the target parameter is accessible
-
Verify the redirect behaviorSend a test POST request with a base64 encoded arbitrary URL in the target parameter and observe if a redirect occurs to an external domain.Affected if The application performs a redirect to an external URL based on the base64 encoded target parameter without proper validation
A user is affected if running Softcom.wroc Iksoris version below 79.0 with the Internet Starter module enabled and accessible, where the vulnerable redirect endpoint accepts base64 encoded URLs in the target parameter.
