Summary

CVE-2024-57433 is a high-severity Improper Access Control (CWE-284) vulnerability in Macrozheng Mall-Tiny. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 40.2th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); 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-12 (Session Termination) and IA-5 (Authenticator Management).

Threat & Defense at a Glance

What attackers do: exploitation maps to Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) and 1 other technique. What defenders deploy: see the NIST 800-53 controls recommended below.

Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

AC-12 Session Termination good match

prevent

AC-12 requires termination of user sessions upon logout, directly preventing continued access via still-valid tokens after logout.

IA-5 Authenticator Management good match

prevent

IA-5 mandates proper management and revocation of authenticators like tokens upon logout, ensuring they cannot be used post-session termination.

AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match

prevent

AC-3 enforces approved access authorizations by validating token validity before granting access to protected resources.

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?

The vulnerability in the logout function of the public-facing web application (mall-tiny) constitutes an incorrect access control issue (T1190: Exploit Public-Facing Application), allowing attackers to continue using valid authentication tokens post-logout for unauthorized persistent access (T1078: Valid Accounts).

NVD Description

macrozheng mall-tiny 1.0.1 is vulnerable to Incorrect Access Control via the logout function. After a user logs out, their token is still available and fetches information in the logged-in state.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-57433 is an Incorrect Access Control vulnerability (CWE-284) in macrozheng mall-tiny version 1.0.1, specifically affecting the logout function. After a user logs out, their authentication token remains valid and can continue to fetch information in a logged-in state. The issue 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 network accessibility and significant confidentiality impact.

Any unauthenticated attacker (PR:N) with network access (AV:N) who obtains a token from a user session—even after logout—can exploit this flaw. By submitting requests with the still-valid token, the attacker achieves unauthorized access to sensitive data that requires authentication, enabling high confidentiality breaches without privileges, user interaction, or disruption to integrity or availability.
