CVE-2024-5549
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 · uneditedA CORS misconfiguration in the stitionai/devika repository allows attackers to steal sensitive information such as logs, browser sessions, and settings containing private API keys from other services. This vulnerability also enables attackers to perform actions on behalf of the user, such as deleting projects or sending messages. The issue arises from the lack of proper origin validation, allowing unauthorized cross-origin requests to be executed. The vulnerability is present in all versions of the repository, as no fixed version has been specified.

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 · scoped- Review the application code to identify CORS configuration (typically in middleware, server config, or framework-specific CORS settings)
- Locate where CORS headers are being set (look for 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header configuration)
- Implement proper origin validation by replacing wildcard '*' origins with an explicit whitelist of allowed origins
- Ensure that Access-Control-Allow-Credentials is set appropriately based on whether the API requires authentication
- If the application uses dynamic origin checking, validate each incoming Origin header against an allowed list before setting Access-Control-Allow-Origin
- Test the CORS configuration by making cross-origin requests from unauthorized origins to confirm they are blocked
- Apply the fix from vendor commit: https://github.com/stitionai/devika/commit/6acce21fb08c3d1123ef05df6a33912bf0ee77c2
