What is CVE-2024-45407?
CVE-2024-45407 is a medium-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in LizardByte Sunshine, published on 10 Sep 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
Sunshine is a self-hosted game stream host for Moonlight. Clients that experience a MITM attack during the pairing process may inadvertantly allow access to an unintended client rather than failing authentication due to a PIN validation error. The pairing attempt fails due to the incorrect PIN, but the certificate from the forged pairing attempt is incorrectly persisted prior to the completion of the pairing request. This allows access to the certificate belonging to the attacker.
Weakness: CWE-300
