Summary

CVE-2024-10718 is a high-severity Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute (CWE-614) vulnerability in Phpipam Phpipam. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Network Sniffing (T1040); ranked at the 24th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SC-8 (Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2024-10718 is a vulnerability in phpipam/phpipam version 1.5.1, an open-source IP address management application. The issue arises because the Secure attribute is not set on sensitive cookies during HTTPS sessions, which can lead user agents to transmit those cookies in plaintext over HTTP connections, potentially exposing sensitive information. This flaw corresponds to CWE-614 (Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute) and CWE-319 (Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information), with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).

The vulnerability can be exploited by any network attacker with low complexity and no privileges or user interaction required. An adversary positioned to observe traffic could capture sensitive cookies if a victim's browser downgrades to an HTTP session, such as through interception on unsecured networks. Successful exploitation enables high-impact confidentiality violations by disclosing cookie contents, which may include session tokens or other sensitive data.

Mitigation is provided in phpipam/phpipam version 1.7.0, where the Secure attribute is properly implemented, as detailed in the fix commit at https://github.com/phpipam/phpipam/commit/ddf70ef6801442eb8b0be5eea829e470e653c70e. Security practitioners should upgrade affected installations to version 1.7.0 or later.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-8 directly requires protecting confidentiality of transmitted information, which structurally eliminates cleartext transmission of sensitive data.

Enforcing hardened configuration baselines includes requiring the Secure flag on sensitive cookies.

prevents

Specifying encryption and other security technology for network services prevents transmission of sensitive information in cleartext over potentially untrusted channels.

prevents

Mandating cryptographic protection and stronger authentication on public networks stops the transmission of plaintext sensitive information.

mitigates

Specifying communications-security requirements and secure remote-access methods (including encryption expectations) prevents the transmission of sensitive data in cleartext over home or public networks.

mitigates

Armoured conduits, electromagnetic shielding and locked enclosures make passive eavesdropping on unencrypted traffic traversing the cables more difficult, mitigating exposure of sensitive data in transit.

mitigates

Use of cryptography control mandates encryption in transit, which HTTPS provides, but does not specifically require the Secure cookie attribute.

prevents

Application security requirements can include cookie security settings, but the control is broader and does not explicitly mandate the Secure attribute.
