AI Analysis

Impact

DWSurvey version 6.14.0 contains an authentication bypass flaw that can be triggered through the '/api/dwsurvey/none/' and '/api/dwsurvey/up/' endpoints, allowing users to interact with the survey system without valid credentials. Based on the description, no authentication header is required to access these endpoints, implying an unauthenticated HTTP request can trigger the bypass. The flaw undermines confidentiality and integrity of survey data and may grant attackers the ability to read, modify or delete entries.

Affected Systems

The affected product is DWSurvey v6.14.0. No specific vendor information is provided in the advisory. Because the vendor is omitted, it is inferred that the vulnerability applies to all installations of this version regardless of vendor.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability is exploitable over the network via the exposed API calls; no authentication is required to trigger the bypass. Because an external attacker can send an HTTP request directly to the aforementioned endpoints, the risk is significant, and the CVSS score of 9.8 classifies this flaw as critical. The EPSS score is < 1% and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, which suggests a lower baseline exploitation probability, but the impact of successful exploitation remains high. The likely attack vector is an unauthenticated network request to the specified API endpoints.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade DWSurvey to a patched version that removes the unauthenticated API access
  • Restrict network access to the '/api/dwsurvey/none/' and '/api/dwsurvey/up/' endpoints using firewall or reverse proxy rules
  • Enable comprehensive logging for API requests and monitor for anomalous access patterns
  • Consider implementing IP whitelisting or additional authentication layers before API access
