What is CVE-2024-50672?
CVE-2024-50672 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in n/a, published on 25 Nov 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
A NoSQL injection vulnerability in Adapt Learning Adapt Authoring Tool <= 0.11.3 allows unauthenticated attackers to reset user and administrator account passwords via the "Reset password" feature. The vulnerability occurs due to insufficient validation of user input, which is used as a query in Mongoose's find() function. This makes it possible for attackers to perform a full takeover of the administrator account. Attackers can then use the newly gained administrative privileges to upload a custom plugin to perform remote code execution (RCE) on the server hosting the web application.
Weakness: CWE-89
