CVE-2024-10082
CVE-2024-10082
In short
CodeChecker's root user account can be hijacked by attackers who create accounts on external authentication services. An attacker who knows the root username can gain complete control over the application.
Technical detail
Authentication method confusion vulnerability (CWE-305, CWE-330) enables privilege escalation to the built-in root account. The weakness stems from improper credential generation (CWE-842) and inability to disable the root user; an attacker with external service access and knowledge of the root username can authenticate as root and obtain unrestricted access to all CodeChecker web interface functions.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
CodeChecker is an analyzer tooling, defect database and viewer extension for the Clang Static Analyzer and Clang Tidy.
Authentication method confusion allows logging in as the built-in root user from an external service. The built-in root user up until 6.24.1 is generated in a weak manner, cannot be disabled, and has universal access.This vulnerability allows an attacker who can create an account on an enabled external authentication service, to log in as the root user, and access and control everything that can be controlled via the web interface. The attacker needs to acquire the username of the root user to be successful.
This issue affects CodeChecker: through 6.24.1.
