CVE-2024-5717
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 · uneditedLogsign Unified SecOps Platform Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Logsign Unified SecOps Platform. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed. The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the HTTP API. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-24165.
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 confidenceCommand injection vulnerability in Logsign Unified SecOps Platform's HTTP API allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by injecting malicious commands through unsanitized user input that is passed to a system call. Although authentication is required to exploit the flaw, the authentication mechanism can be bypassed, and the injected commands execute with root privileges.

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.
-
Verify Logsign Unified SecOps Platform is installedIdentify whether the Logsign Unified SecOps Platform software is present on the system. Common methods include checking installed packages, scanning for the application directory, or querying the system inventory.Affected if Logsign Unified SecOps Platform is found on the system
-
Check the installed product versionRetrieve the installed version of Logsign Unified SecOps Platform. Compare the version number against the affected range: versions 6.4.6 through 6.4.7 (any version less than 6.4.8) are vulnerable.Affected if The installed version is 6.4.6, 6.4.7, or any version >= 6.4.6 but < 6.4.8
-
Confirm HTTP API module is enabledDetermine whether the HTTP API component of Logsign Unified SecOps Platform is enabled and accessible. This typically involves checking the service configuration, listening ports (such as port 443 or 8443), or API service status.Affected if The HTTP API is exposed and accepts connections
-
Verify authentication mechanism statusAssess whether the API authentication can be bypassed. The CVE indicates the authentication requirement can be circumvented, so test if unauthenticated requests to API endpoints are accepted.Affected if Unauthenticated access to the API is possible or authentication can be bypassed
The environment is affected if Logsign Unified SecOps Platform version 6.4.6 through 6.4.7 is installed with the HTTP API enabled and accessible, particularly if unauthenticated API access is possible.

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 · scoped6.4.8
Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied parameters before using them in system calls, and remediate the authentication bypass vulnerability. Until a patch is available, restrict network access to the Logsign API to trusted sources only.
6.4.8 or later
- Upgrade Logsign Unified SecOps Platform to version 6.4.8 or later to address the command injection vulnerability.
- Before upgrading, ensure you have a complete backup of the system and configuration.
- Review the upgrade documentation from Logsign support (support.logsign.net) for specific upgrade procedures.
- Test the upgrade in a non-production environment first if possible.
- After upgrading, verify the HTTP API functionality and confirm the vulnerability is remediated.
