CVE-2024-50685
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 · uneditedSunGrow iSolarCloud before the October 31, 2024 remediation, is vulnerable to insecure direct object references (IDOR) via the powerStationService API model.
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 confidenceSunGrow iSolarCloud has an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in the powerStationService API model. The API fails to properly validate user authorization when accessing resources, allowing attackers to manipulate object references (such as station IDs) to access or modify data belonging to other users without proper authentication checks.

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 iSolarCloud installed versionAccess the iSolarCloud admin panel or check system configuration files for the deployed version number. Look for version information in system settings, about pages, or installation manifests.Affected if The installed version is before 2024-10-31 (any version number lower than the October 31, 2024 release).
-
Verify powerStationService API exposureReview API service configuration or documentation to confirm the powerStationService API module is enabled and accessible in your deployment.Affected if The powerStationService API is enabled and exposed as part of the iSolarCloud installation.
-
Check API authorization configurationExamine the API configuration files or authentication/authorization settings for powerStationService to determine if explicit resource ownership validation is implemented.Affected if The API lacks explicit authorization checks for station ID parameters or does not validate user ownership before returning resource data.
-
Review API endpoint access patternsAnalyze API access logs or endpoint configurations for powerStationService to see if requests include station IDs that could be manipulated by users.Affected if The API accepts station IDs as parameters without validating that the requesting user owns or has permissions for those specific stations.
Your environment is affected if you are running any version of Sungrowpower iSolarCloud released before October 31, 2024 with the powerStationService API enabled and accessible.

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 data2024-10-31
Implement proper authorization validation for all API endpoints in powerStationService, ensuring users can only access resources they are explicitly authorized for. This includes validating ownership/permissions before returning any resource data.
