Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-40464 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/beego/beego/v2 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 2.2.1\n- github.com/beego/beego/v2 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 2.2.1\n- github.com/beego/beego/v2 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 2.2.1\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-2024-40464/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40464/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-40464","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40464/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-40464","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r6qh-j42j-pw64","GO-2024-3016"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Go web framework","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A remote attacker can escalate privileges in the beego Go framework due to improper certificate validation in the SMTP mail sending function.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"beego","vendor":"beego"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-295","name":"Improper Certificate Validation"},{"id":"CWE-599","name":"Missing Validation of OpenSSL Certificate"}],"description":"An issue in beego v.2.2.0 and before allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via the sendMail function located in beego/core/logs/smtp.go file","ecosystems":["Go"],"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":"Beego privilege escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-40464","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Go","product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2024"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Beego privilege escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-40465"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.2.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/beego/beego/v2","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-r6qh-j42j-pw64"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.2.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/beego/beego/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/beego/beego/v2","source":"GHSA-r6qh-j42j-pw64"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.2.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/beego/beego/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/beego/beego/v2","source":"GO-2024-3016"}],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-40462"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2024-07-31","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path Traversal in Beego","id":"CVE-2022-31836","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Access control bypass in beego","id":"CVE-2022-31259","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Access control bypass in Beego","id":"CVE-2021-30080","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-05"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Beego allows Reflected/Stored XSS in Beego's RenderForm() Function Due to Unescaped User Input","id":"CVE-2025-30223","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-31"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Beego privilege escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-40465","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in beego","id":"CVE-2021-27116","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-05"}],"sources":[{"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":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Go Vulnerability Database","prefix":"GO"},{"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":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A remote attacker can escalate privileges in the beego Go framework due to improper certificate validation in the SMTP mail sending function.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40464/"}
