CVE-2024-7603
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 Directory Traversal Arbitrary Directory Deletion Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary directories on affected installations of Logsign Unified SecOps Platform. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the HTTP API service, which listens on TCP port 443 by default. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to delete directories in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-25028.
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 confidenceThis is a directory traversal vulnerability in Logsign Unified SecOps Platform's HTTP API service (TCP port 443). An authenticated attacker can manipulate user-supplied paths to delete arbitrary directories on the system with root privileges due to lack of input validation before file 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 if Logsign Unified SecOps Platform is installedRun 'ls /opt/logsign' or check for the logsign service via 'systemctl list-units | grep logsign' or check running processes for logsign-related servicesAffected if The product is not installed or no logsign processes are found, the system is not affected by this CVE
-
Determine the installed version of LogsignRun 'logsign --version' or check '/opt/logsign/version' if available, or look for version information in the product's web interface footerAffected if The installed version is 6.4.20 exactly, making it vulnerable to this CVE
-
Verify if HTTP API service is running on TCP port 443Run 'netstat -tlnp | grep :443' or 'ss -tlnp | grep :443' to check if the API service is listening on port 443Affected if The API service is not exposed on port 443, the vulnerability cannot be exploited remotely
-
Confirm API endpoint accessibilityAttempt a local curl to https://localhost/api/ or check if the API responds to requests at the default endpoint paths used by LogsignAffected if The API is not accessible or returns no response, the attack surface is reduced but the local vulnerability may still exist
-
Check if API authentication is required and enforcedReview the API configuration files in /opt/logsign/ for authentication settings, or test making an API request without credentials to see if it is rejectedAffected if API authentication is disabled or not enforced, an attacker could potentially exploit the directory traversal without valid credentials
The environment is affected only if Logsign Unified SecOps Platform version 6.4.20 is installed, the HTTP API service is accessible on port 443, and authentication can be bypassed or obtained.

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 dataApply vendor patch when available. Until then, restrict API access to authorized personnel only, monitor for suspicious deletion activity, and consider network segmentation to limit exposure.
