CVE-2024-8773 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2024-8773: SIMPLE.ERP client is vulnerable to MS SQL protocol downgrade request from a server side, what could lead to an unencrypted communication vulnerable to data interception and modification. This issue affect SIMPLE.ERP from 6.20 to 6.30. Only the 6.30 version received a patch 6.30@a03.9, which make it possible for an administrator to enforce encrypted communication. Versions 6.20 and 6.25 remain unpatched.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2024-8773

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2024-8773 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).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2024-8773

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2024-8773.

Understanding AC and PR

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.

CWE Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-757

CAPEC Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification

  • Client-Server Protocol Manipulation CAPEC-220 An adversary takes advantage of weaknesses in the protocol by which a client and server are communicating to perform unexpected actions. Communication protocols are necessary to transfer messages between client and server applications. Moreover, different protocols may be used for different types of interactions.
  • Weakening of Cellular Encryption CAPEC-606 An attacker, with control of a Cellular Rogue Base Station or through cooperation with a Malicious Mobile Network Operator can force the mobile device (e.g., the retransmission device) to use no encryption (A5/0 mode) or to use easily breakable encryption (A5/1 or A5/2 mode).
  • Drop Encryption Level CAPEC-620 An attacker forces the encryption level to be lowered, thus enabling a successful attack against the encrypted data.
