What is CVE-2024-3185?
CVE-2024-3185 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Rapid7 Insight Agent, published on 23 Apr 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
A key used in logging.json does not follow the least privilege principle by default and is exposed to local users in the Rapid7 Platform. This allows an attacker with local access to a machine with the logging.json file to use that key to authenticate to the platform with high privileges. This was fixed in the Rapid7 platform starting 3 April 2024 via the introduction of a restricted role and the removal of automatic API key generation on installation of an agent.
Weakness: CWE-1284
