What is CVE-2024-3798?

CVE-2024-3798 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Phoniebox, published on 10 Jul 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

Insecure handling of GET header parameter file included in requests being sent to an instance of the open-source project Phoniebox allows an attacker to create a website, which – when visited by a user – will send malicious requests to multiple hosts on the local network. If such a request reaches the server, it will cause one of the following (depending on the chosen payload): shell command execution, reflected XSS or cross-site request forgery.

This issue affects Phoniebox in all releases through 2.7. Newer 2.x releases were not tested, but they might also be vulnerable.  Phoniebox in version 3.0 and higher are not affected.

Weakness: CWE-79, CWE-78, CWE-352
