CVE-2024-5721
Published: 22 November 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-5721 is a high-severity Missing Authentication for Critical Function (CWE-306) vulnerability in Logsign Unified Secops Platform. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).
Operationally, ranked in the top 1.6% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-5721 is a missing authentication vulnerability in the Logsign Unified SecOps Platform that permits unauthenticated remote code execution. The flaw resides in the cluster HTTP API, which listens on TCP port 1924 when enabled, and stems from the absence of any authentication checks before granting access to sensitive functionality. Successful exploitation grants an attacker the ability to run arbitrary code with root privileges on affected installations.
Remote attackers can exploit the issue over the network without credentials or user interaction. By sending crafted requests to the exposed cluster API endpoint, an adversary can achieve full system compromise, including execution of commands in the root context.
The referenced Logsign release notes for version 6.4.8 address the issue, while the Zero Day Initiative advisory ZDI-24-615 provides additional technical details on the vulnerability. The EPSS score has remained steady at its peak value of 0.6315 since disclosure.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Requires established identification and authentication to unlock, mitigating missing authentication for continued system access.
Requiring identification and rationale for actions allowed without authentication ensures critical functions are not left unprotected by forcing review of authentication requirements.
Authorizing mobile device connections to organizational systems ensures authentication is performed for this critical access function.
Guarantees critical functions are protected by mandatory invocation of the access control mechanism.
Auditing sessions makes it possible to detect access to critical functions without required authentication.
The assessment process confirms authentication is present and effective for critical functions, preventing exploitation from missing authentication.
Certification assesses that critical functions have required authentication controls in place.
Disabling non-essential functions and services eliminates the need to secure them, reducing exposure from missing authentication on unnecessary components.
