CVE-2024-5718
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 Missing Authentication Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Logsign Unified SecOps Platform. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the cluster HTTP API, which listens on TCP port 1924 by default when enabled. The issue results from the lack of authentication prior to allowing access to functionality. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-24166.
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 confidenceMissing authentication in Logsign Unified SecOps Platform's cluster HTTP API (TCP port 1924) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as root. The vulnerability stems from the lack of authentication checks before granting access to sensitive API functionality.

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 Logsign Unified SecOps Platform installationCheck if Logsign is installed on the system by looking for common installation directories or running: ps aux | grep -i logsign or systemctl list-units | grep logsignAffected if Logsign Unified SecOps Platform is not installed on the system - no action needed
-
Determine installed Logsign versionRun: rpm -qa | grep logsign or check /opt/logsign/version 2>/dev/null if the product was installed using standard pathsAffected if Installed version is 6.4.6, 6.4.7, or any 6.4.6.x/6.4.7.x release - version falls within affected range >= 6.4.6, < 6.4.8
-
Verify if TCP port 1924 is listeningRun: netstat -tlnp | grep 1924 or ss -tlnp | grep 1924 to check if the cluster HTTP API port is open and listeningAffected if Port 1924 is open and listening - the vulnerable API endpoint is exposed
-
Test API accessibility without authenticationRun: curl -s http://localhost:1924/api/status or curl -s http://127.0.0.1:1924/api/cluster 2>/dev/null to check if the API responds without requiring credentialsAffected if API returns any JSON response or cluster status information without authentication - the vulnerability is present and exploitable
A system is affected if Logsign Unified SecOps Platform version 6.4.6 through 6.4.7.x is installed AND TCP port 1924 is open with the cluster API responding without authentication credentials.

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
Restrict network access to port 1924 via firewall rules or network segmentation until vendor authentication patch is applied; verify cluster API is disabled if not required in production environments.
Logsign Unified SecOps Platform 6.4.8 or later
- Backup the current Logsign Unified SecOps Platform installation and configuration
- Download Logsign Unified SecOps Platform version 6.4.8 or later from the official vendor support site (support.logsign.net)
- Follow the vendor's documented upgrade procedure to apply the update
- Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number
- Confirm the cluster HTTP API on TCP port 1924 is now properly requiring authentication
- Test that legitimate administrative functions still work correctly after the upgrade
