What is CVE-2024-12908?

CVE-2024-12908 is a medium-severity code injection vulnerability in Delinea Secret Server, published on 26 Dec 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

Delinea addressed a reported case on Secret Server v11.7.31 (protocol handler version 6.0.3.26) where, within the protocol handler function, URI's were compared before normalization and canonicalization, potentially leading to over matching against the approved list. If this attack were successfully exploited, a remote attacker may be able to convince a user to visit a malicious web-page, or open a malicious document which could trigger the vulnerable handler, allowing them to execute arbitrary code on the user's machine. Delinea added additional validation that the downloaded installer's batch file was in the expected format.
