CVE-2024-51505
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 · uneditedAn issue was discovered in Atos Eviden IDRA before 2.7.1. A highly trusted role (Config Admin) could leverage a race condition to escalate privileges.
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 confidenceIn Atos Eviden IDRA before version 2.7.1, a race condition vulnerability allows a user with the highly trusted Config Admin role to escalate privileges beyond their intended permissions. The vulnerability stems from inadequate synchronization in privilege assignment logic that can be exploited through careful timing of concurrent operations.

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 IDRA installation versionLocate the version information for Atos Eviden IDRA. This may be found in the product's web UI under About or System Information, in installation logs, or in a version file within the installation directory. Compare the found version to 2.7.1.Affected if The installed version is below 2.7.1 (e.g., 2.7.0, 2.6.x, or earlier)
-
Verify Config Admin role existsAccess the role management section of IDRA (typically in Administration > Roles or Security > Roles). Check if the Config Admin role is defined in the system.Affected if The Config Admin role is present in the role configuration
-
Identify Config Admin role assignmentsReview user-to-role mappings in the IDRA administration console. Look for any users or service accounts that have been assigned the Config Admin role.Affected if One or more users are assigned the Config Admin role
-
Check concurrent session behaviorReview IDRA audit logs, access logs, or security event logs for patterns of concurrent operations involving role or privilege modifications. Look for multiple API calls or user actions occurring in rapid succession (millisecond intervals) related to permission changes.Affected if Concurrent role modification operations are logged or observable in the environment and the version is vulnerable
A user is affected if they run Atos Eviden IDRA version below 2.7.1 AND have the Config Admin role assigned to any user, as this creates the conditions for the race condition to be exploitable.

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 · scopedUpgrade to Atos Eviden IDRA version 2.7.1 or later, which contains the fix for this race condition vulnerability.
2.7.1 or later
- 1. Identify the current version of Atos Eviden IDRA installed in your environment
- 2. Review the upgrade documentation for Atos Eviden IDRA available at evidensupport.bull.com or the official Eviden support portal
- 3. Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade process
- 4. Perform a full backup of the current IDRA configuration and data
- 5. Upgrade Atos Eviden IDRA to version 2.7.1 or later
- 6. After upgrade, verify that the Config Admin role no longer has the vulnerable race condition
- 7. Test that privilege escalation is no longer possible through the previously vulnerable code path
- 8. Monitor system logs for any anomalous behavior following the upgrade
