CVE-2024-58124

Vulnerability: Access Control Vulnerability in Security Verification Module

Description: A flaw exists within the security verification module that allows unauthorized access. Successful exploitation could compromise system integrity and confidentiality.

Severity: High

  • CVSS Score: 8.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) - Network, Low Complexity, No Privileges Required, No User Interaction, Unchanged Scope, High Confidentiality Impact, High Integrity Impact, No Availability Impact

Known Exploit: Awaiting analysis, but the high CVSS score suggests the potential for remote, unauthenticated exploitation.

Remediation/Mitigation Strategy:

  1. Immediate Assessment:
    • Identify affected systems and applications using the impacted Huawei security verification module.
    • Assess the potential impact of a successful exploit on affected systems.
  2. Apply Patch (If Available):
    • Check Huawei’s official security advisories and download portal for available patches or updates that address CVE-2024-58124.
    • Test the patch in a non-production environment before deploying it to production systems.
    • Prioritize patching internet-facing systems.
  3. Implement Workarounds (If Patch Unavailable):
    • Until a patch is released, implement temporary mitigations to reduce the risk:
      • Restrict Access: Limit network access to the affected module from untrusted sources. Implement network segmentation to reduce the attack surface.
      • Strengthen Authentication: Enforce strong authentication mechanisms (e.g., multi-factor authentication) where possible to protect against unauthorized access to the affected module.
      • Monitor Logs: Increase logging and monitoring for suspicious activity related to the security verification module. Look for unusual access attempts, patterns, or error messages.
      • Disable Unnecessary Features: If feasible, temporarily disable or restrict the use of features dependent on the vulnerable module to reduce the attack surface.
  4. Monitor and Alert:
    • Implement intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) rules to detect and block potential exploitation attempts targeting CVE-2024-58124.
    • Configure security information and event management (SIEM) systems to correlate logs from affected systems and alert on suspicious activity.
  5. Regular Review and Updates:
    • Stay informed about the vulnerability by regularly checking Huawei’s security advisories and other relevant sources.
    • After applying the patch or implementing mitigations, periodically review the effectiveness of the implemented measures and adjust them as needed.
  6. Communication:
    • Communicate the vulnerability and remediation steps to relevant teams and stakeholders.
    • Establish a clear communication plan for reporting and responding to potential incidents.
