An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-38524 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.geoserver.web:gs-web-app (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.25.6\n- org.geoserver.web:gs-web-app (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.25.6\n- org.geoserver.web:gs-web-app (Maven): affected from 2.26.0; fixed in 2.26.2\n- org.geoserver.web:gs-web-app (Maven): affected from 2.26.0; fixed in 2.26.2\n- org.geoserver:gs-gwc (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.25.6\n- org.geoserver:gs-gwc (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.25.6\n- org.geoserver:gs-gwc (Maven): affected from 2.26.0; fixed in 2.26.2\n- org.geoserver:gs-gwc (Maven): affected from 2.26.0; fixed in 2.26.2\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-2024-38524/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38524/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38524","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38524/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38524","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jm79-7xhw-6f6f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GeoServer web cache","requires_auth":"none","summary":"GeoServer exposes sensitive version and storage location information on its home page, allowing attackers to gather reconnaissance data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"geoserver","vendor":"osgeo"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"GeoServer is an open source server that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. org.geowebcache.GeoWebCacheDispatcher.handleFrontPage(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) has no check to hide potentially sensitive information from users except for a hidden system property to hide the storage locations that defaults to showing the locations.
