Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2024-46310 is an incorrect access control vulnerability affecting Cfx.re FXServer versions v9601 and earlier. The flaw exposes an API endpoint that permits unauthenticated users to read and modify arbitrary user data, stemming from CWE-281. This issue carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N), indicating critical severity due to high impacts on confidentiality and integrity.
Attackers require no privileges or user interaction and can exploit the vulnerability remotely over the network with low complexity. Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access, read, and alter sensitive user data stored on the server, potentially leading to data theft, account takeovers, or unauthorized modifications across affected FXServer instances.
