What is CVE-2024-53829?
CVE-2024-53829 is a high-severity vulnerability in Ericsson CodeChecker, published on 21 Jan 2025. 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
CodeChecker is an analyzer tooling, defect database and viewer extension for the Clang Static Analyzer and Clang Tidy. Cross-site request forgery allows an unauthenticated attacker to hijack the authentication of a logged in user, and use the web API with the same permissions, including but not limited to adding, removing or editing products. The attacker needs to know the ID of the available products to modify or delete them. The attacker cannot directly exfiltrate data (view) from CodeChecker, due to being limited to form-based CSRF.
This issue affects CodeChecker: through 6.24.4.
Weakness: CWE-352
