Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 8.6% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).

Threat & Defense at a Glance

What attackers do: exploitation maps to Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190). What defenders deploy: see the NIST 800-53 controls recommended below.

Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Validates HTTP request parameters in Copy and View functions to block directory traversal sequences like '../'.

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

prevent

Enforces logical access controls to restrict file reads to authorized directories only, preventing unauthorized access via traversal.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Remediates the specific directory traversal flaw by identifying, testing, and applying patches such as OpenPanel v0.3.5.

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.

Why these techniques?

Directory traversal in internet-facing File Manager component directly enables remote unauthenticated file read via crafted requests, mapping to exploitation of public-facing applications.

NVD Description

An issue found in the Copy and View functions in the File Manager component of OpenPanel v0.3.4 allows attackers to execute a directory traversal via a crafted HTTP request.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-53582 is a directory traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the Copy and View functions of the File Manager component in OpenPanel version 0.3.4. The flaw allows attackers to traverse directories and access unauthorized files through a crafted HTTP request. It carries 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), indicating high severity due to significant confidentiality impact.

Remote attackers require no authentication or privileges to exploit this vulnerability over the network, with low attack complexity and no user interaction needed. Exploitation enables reading of sensitive files outside the intended scope, potentially exposing configuration data, user files, or other confidential information on the affected system.

The OpenPanel changelog for version 0.3.5 includes security fixes that address this issue. Further technical details are documented on PacketStorm.
