Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Flaw remediation directly addresses the SSTI vulnerability in AdPortal 3.0.39 by identifying, reporting, and patching the specific code flaw in updateuserinfo.html.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Information input validation enforces sanitization and validation of untrusted inputs like shippingAsBilling and firstname parameters to block SSTI payloads before template processing.

SC-7 Boundary Protection good match

prevent

Boundary protection implements web application firewalls or proxies to inspect and filter network traffic for SSTI attack patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

attack.mitre.org →

T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter Execution

Adversaries may abuse command and script interpreters to execute commands, scripts, or binaries.

attack.mitre.org →

Why these techniques?

SSTI in public-facing web app directly enables remote exploitation for arbitrary code execution (T1190) and subsequent use of command/script interpreters (T1059).

NVD Description

Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) was found in AdPortal 3.0.39 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the shippingAsBilling and firstname parameters in updateuserinfo.html file

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-50658 is a Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) vulnerability, classified under CWE-94, affecting AdPortal version 3.0.39. The issue resides in the updateuserinfo.html file, where the shippingAsBilling and firstname parameters can be manipulated to enable arbitrary code execution. It received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8, reflecting its critical severity due to network accessibility, low attack complexity, and no requirements for privileges or user interaction.

A remote attacker requires no authentication to exploit this vulnerability over the network. Successful exploitation grants the attacker the ability to execute arbitrary code on the server, potentially leading to full compromise with high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability as per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
