Auth Bypass in Anji-Plus Report ≤ 1.4.1
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2024-7314 is a critical-severity Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel (CWE-288) vulnerability in Anji-Plus Report. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 1% 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 map to AC-25 (Reference Monitor) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
anji-plus AJ-Report contains an authentication bypass vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-7314. The flaw allows a remote attacker to append the string ";swagger-ui" to HTTP requests, which circumvents authentication controls and permits execution of arbitrary Java code on the server. The issue carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8 and is associated with CWE-288.
A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit the weakness over the network without user interaction to gain full control of the affected AJ-Report instance, including the ability to read, modify, or delete data and execute operating-system commands. The same technique has been packaged in public proof-of-concept code.
Exploitation of the vulnerability was observed in the wild by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2025-02-05 UTC. The EPSS score reached a peak of 0.7458 and remains at that level, indicating sustained exploitation interest after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Requires a tamperproof, always-invoked reference monitor that structurally blocks bypass via any alternate path.
Enforces authorization checks on every logical access path, eliminating unauthenticated alternate channels.
Mandates unique identification and authentication for all organizational users, covering the primary authentication requirement.
Controls all external and key internal interfaces, reducing the chance of unauthenticated alternate channels.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Requiring authentication on every channel and path directly eliminates alternate-path bypasses.
Enforcing authorizations and least privilege across all access vectors prevents unauthenticated alternate paths.
Protecting networks and environments from unauthorized logical access blocks bypass via undocumented channels.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Security testing can detect alternate-path bypasses but does not prevent them in production.
Secure authentication control directly mitigates bypass by requiring strong, consistent authentication on all paths.
Access control policy directly addresses alternate authentication paths by requiring all channels to enforce authentication.
Authentication information management ensures credentials and mechanisms are consistently applied across all access paths.
Access rights provisioning and review prevent bypass via unmonitored or alternate channels.
Privileged access rights control reduces risk of bypass through elevated or alternate paths.
