Summary

CVE-2024-50685 is a critical-severity Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) vulnerability in Sungrowpower Isolarcloud. Its CVSS base score is 9.1 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 39th 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-24 (Access Control Decisions) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2024-50685 is an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerability, mapped to CWE-639, affecting SunGrow iSolarCloud platforms prior to the remediation released on October 31, 2024. The flaw exists in the powerStationService API model, allowing attackers to access or manipulate objects without proper authorization checks.

The vulnerability 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 it is exploitable over the network with low complexity by unauthenticated attackers requiring no user interaction. Successful exploitation enables high-impact confidentiality and integrity violations, such as unauthorized access to or modification of sensitive power station data and configurations.

Sungrow has addressed the issue with a remediation update released on October 31, 2024, as detailed in their security notice at https://en.sungrowpower.com/security-notice-detail-2/6118. Security practitioners should ensure iSolarCloud instances are updated to the patched version and review API access controls to mitigate IDOR risks.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Enforcing approved authorizations on every access request structurally stops a user-controlled key from reaching another user's data.

Requiring explicit access-control decisions on each request blocks unauthorized key-driven access.

Least-privilege restrictions limit the scope of data reachable even if a key check is bypassed.

PR.AA-05 full match
prevents

Enforcing authorization policy and least privilege directly blocks user-controlled key tampering that bypasses access checks.

PR.IR-01 mostly match
prevents

Logical access controls prevent unauthorized data access that results from missing authorization checks on object references.

finds

Security testing can detect missing authorization checks but does not prevent the weakness in production.

prevents

Information access restriction explicitly enforces that users may only retrieve data they are authorized to see, directly addressing user-controlled key bypass.

prevents

Access control policy directly requires enforcement of authorization rules that prevent unauthorized access via manipulated keys.

prevents

Managing access rights includes ensuring users can only access their own records and not bypass authorization by altering identifiers.

mitigates

Privileged access rights control restricts what data each user may access, mitigating direct object reference attacks.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes authorization design but does not itself implement runtime access checks.
