An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-34517 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.neo4j:neo4j-cypher (Maven): affected from 5.0.0; fixed in 5.19.0\n- org.neo4j:neo4j-cypher (Maven): affected from 5.0.0; fixed in 5.19.0\n- neo4j (Bitnami): affected from 5.0.0; fixed in 5.20.0\n- neo4j-enterprise (Bitnami): affected from 5.0.0; fixed in 5.19.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-34517/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-34517/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-34517","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-34517/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-34517","record":{"aliases":["BIT-neo4j-2024-34517","BIT-neo4j-enterprise-2024-34517","GHSA-p343-9qwp-pqxv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Neo4j graph database","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An attacker with admin access can escalate privileges due to mishandled IMMUTABLE privileges in the Cypher component.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"neo4j","vendor":"neo4j"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-471","name":"Modification of Assumed-Immutable Data (MAID)"}],"description":"The Cypher component in Neo4j 5.0.0 through 5.18 mishandles IMMUTABLE privileges in some situations where an attacker already has admin access.","ecosystems":["Bitnami","Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Neo4j Cypher component mishandles IMMUTABLE privileges","id":"CVE-2024-34517","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-34519"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["5.20.0"],"introduced":["5.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"neo4j","purl":"pkg:bitnami/neo4j","source":"BIT-neo4j-2024-34517"},{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["5.19.0"],"introduced":["5.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"neo4j-enterprise","purl":"pkg:bitnami/neo4j-enterprise","source":"BIT-neo4j-enterprise-2024-34517"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["5.19.0"],"introduced":["5.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.neo4j:neo4j-cypher","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-p343-9qwp-pqxv"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["5.19.0"],"introduced":["5.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.neo4j:neo4j-cypher","purl":"pkg:maven/org.neo4j/neo4j-cypher","source":"GHSA-p343-9qwp-pqxv"}],"prev":{"headline":"image-optimizer allows PHAR deserialization","id":"CVE-2024-34515"},"products":["Neo4j"],"published":"2024-05-07","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Neo4j","id":"CVE-2021-34371","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Incorrect access control in Neo4j Enterprise Database Server via LDAP authentication","id":"CVE-2018-18389","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-16"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Neo4J vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery","id":"CVE-2013-7259","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-04-29"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Unathenticated connection can hold Bolt channel open","id":"CVE-2026-14587","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-05"},{"cvss_score":2.1,"headline":"Caching of authentication context","id":"CVE-2026-1471","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-11"},{"cvss_score":2.1,"headline":"Auth misconfiguration when multiple providers enabled","id":"CVE-2026-1524","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-07-23","vendors":["Neo4j"]},"summary":"An attacker with admin access can escalate privileges due to mishandled IMMUTABLE privileges in the Cypher component.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-34517/"}
