What is CVE-2024-12908?

CVE-2024-12908 is a remote code execution vulnerability identified within the Delinea Secret Server product, which is designed for secure storage and management of sensitive information such as passwords and documents. If exploited, this vulnerability may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a user’s machine by tricking them into interacting with a malicious web page or document. This represents a serious threat to organizations relying on Secret Server for critical security operations, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information and systems.

Technical Details

The vulnerability arises from issues in the protocol handler of Secret Server version 11.7.31 (protocol handler version 6.0.3.26). Specifically, the problem occurs due to the improper handling of URI comparisons prior to normalization and canonicalization. This flaw can lead to over-matching against the approved list of URIs, which an attacker could exploit to manipulate user interactions with malicious web content or documents. In response to this vulnerability, Delinea has implemented additional validation measures for its installer batch files.

Potential Impact of CVE-2024-12908

Arbitrary Code Execution: Successful exploitation allows attackers to run arbitrary code on the compromised system, which could lead to data manipulation, unauthorized operations, or further exploitation of the network.
Data Breach Risks: The vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data stored within Delinea Secret Server, potentially leading to widespread data breaches.
Increased Attack Surface: Organizations using Secret Server may find themselves vulnerable to additional attacks as malicious actors leverage this exploit to gain footholds within the network, complicating overall security postures.
