Published: 09 January 2025
Summary
CVE-2024-56113 is a high-severity Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information (CWE-922) vulnerability in Motius (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 48.6% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 CM-6 (Configuration Settings) and SI-11 (Error Handling).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-56113 is a vulnerability in Smart Toilet Lab - Motius version 1.3.11, a Django-based application. The issue stems from the application running with debug mode enabled (DEBUG = True), which causes verbose error pages to expose sensitive information defined in the Django settings file. This misconfiguration is mapped to CWE-922 and 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 confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effects.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. By triggering an error condition that generates a verbose error page, attackers gain access to sensitive Django settings data, such as configuration secrets, potentially enabling further compromise like unauthorized access to backend systems or data exfiltration.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Requires secure error handling that prevents disclosure of sensitive information via verbose error pages triggered by debug mode.
Mandates establishment of secure configuration settings, such as disabling DEBUG=True in Django to avoid exposing sensitive settings.
Enforces output filtering to block sensitive Django settings information from being released in error pages accessible to unauthenticated attackers.
