Questions about CVE-2024-27348
What does this mean?
The advisory describes command execution through the Gremlin component of Apache HugeGraph-Server. The checked facts do not describe the mechanism in more detail.Source: hugegraph.apache.org
Am I affected, and how do I check?
Versions from 1.0.0 up to but not including 1.3.0 of Apache HugeGraph-Server, along with the org.apache.hugegraph hugegraph-api and hugegraph-core packages in those ranges. Check the server version in use and whether user authentication has been enabled in the configuration, since it is disabled by default.Source: hugegraph.apache.org
What should I do about it?
Upgrade to HugeGraph-Server 1.3.0 or later, which is the fixed version in the checked ranges. Until the upgrade is done, enable authentication and authorization, set a strong non-default administrator password, keep the Server IP allowlist, and grant minimum permissions.Source: hugegraph.apache.org
Is it being exploited?
Yes. CISA added it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-09-18, which means it has evidence of attacks. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cisa.gov, cve.now feed data
