CVE-2024-54092: A vulnerability has been identified in Industrial Edge Device Kit - arm64 V1.17 (All versions), Industrial Edge Device Kit - arm64 V1.18 (All versions), Industrial Edge Device Kit - arm64 V1.19 (All versions), Industrial Edge Device Kit - arm64 V1.20 (All versions < V1.20.2-1), Industrial Edge Device Kit - arm64 V1.21 (All versions < V1.21.1-1), Industrial Edge Device Kit - x86-64 V1.17 (All versions), Industrial Edge Device Kit - x86-64 V1.18 (All versions), Industrial Edge Device Kit - x86-64 V1.19 (All versions), Industrial Edge Device Kit - x86-64 V1.20 (All versions < V1.20.2-1), Industrial Edge Device Kit - x86-64 V1.21 (All versions < V1.21.1-1), Industrial Edge Own Device (IEOD) (All versions < V1.21.1-1-a), Industrial Edge Virtual Device (All versions < V1.21.1-1-a), SCALANCE LPE9413 (6GK5998-3GS01-2AC2) (All versions), SIMATIC IPC BX-39A Industrial Edge Device (All versions < V3.0), SIMATIC IPC BX-59A Industrial Edge Device (All versions < V3.0), SIMATIC IPC127E Industrial Edge Device (All versions < V3.0), SIMATIC IPC227E Industrial Edge Device (All versions < V3.0), SIMATIC IPC427E Industrial Edge Device (All versions < V3.0), SIMATIC IPC847E Industrial Edge Device (All versions < V3.0). Affected devices do not properly enforce user authentication on specific API endpoints when identity federation is used. This could facilitate an unauthenticated remote attacker to circumvent authentication and impersonate a legitimate user. Successful exploitation requires that identity federation is currently or has previously been used and the attacker has learned the identity of a legitimate user.
The exploitability of CVE-2024-54092 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).
With low attack complexity and no required privileges, CVE-2024-54092 is an easy target for cybercriminals. Organizations should prioritize immediate mitigation measures to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.
Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.
Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2024-54092, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2024-54092, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
