Threat & Defense at a Glance
Threat & Defense Details
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
Directly mitigates template injection by requiring validation and sanitization of user-supplied inputs to the templating engine in OneBlog's template management.
Addresses the specific flaw in OneBlog v2.3.6 by mandating identification, reporting, and correction of vulnerabilities like this template injection.
Reduces the attack surface by enforcing least privilege, limiting low-privilege authenticated users' access to the vulnerable template management functions.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Template injection (CWE-1336) in OneBlog directly enables server-side arbitrary code execution via malicious template input (T1059) and facilitates remote exploitation of a network-accessible web application (T1190).
NVD Description
OneBlog v2.3.6 was discovered to contain a template injection vulnerability via the template management department.
Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2024-54954 is a template injection vulnerability affecting OneBlog version 2.3.6, specifically in the template management department. This flaw, classified under CWE-1336, allows improper handling of user-supplied input in templates, enabling malicious code execution within the templating engine. The vulnerability received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.0, reflecting its high severity due to network accessibility and significant impact potential.
An attacker with low privileges (PR:L), such as an authenticated user, can exploit this over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), though it requires user interaction (UI:R), like clicking a malicious link or input. Successful exploitation grants high confidentiality (C:H), integrity (I:H), and availability (A:H) impacts without changing scope (S:U), potentially leading to full server compromise, data exfiltration, or arbitrary code execution on the affected OneBlog instance.
