Summary

CVE-2024-10082 is a high-severity Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness (CWE-305) vulnerability in Ericsson Codechecker. Its CVSS base score is 8.7 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Junk Data (T1001.001); ranked at the 40th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-2 (Account Management) and IA-2 (Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users)) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

CodeChecker is an analyzer tooling, defect database and viewer extension for the Clang Static Analyzer and Clang Tidy. Authentication method confusion allows logging in as the built-in root user from an external service. The built-in root user up until 6.24.1…

more

is generated in a weak manner, cannot be disabled, and has universal access.This vulnerability allows an attacker who can create an account on an enabled external authentication service, to log in as the root user, and access and control everything that can be controlled via the web interface. The attacker needs to acquire the username of the root user to be successful. This issue affects CodeChecker: through 6.24.1.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-2 requires documented procedures for establishing and modifying group memberships, directly stopping incorrect group placement during account provisioning.

Requires unique identification and authentication of users, structurally blocking bypass of the mechanism.

Requires unique identification and authentication of non-organizational users, blocking bypass paths.

SC-12 requires proper cryptographic key establishment and management, which structurally mandates use of sufficient randomness for key generation.

Enforces approved authorizations so a bypass weakness cannot be exploited to reach resources.

AC-6 requires that privileges (including those granted via groups) be assigned according to the principle of least privilege, reducing the chance of erroneous group placement.
