CVE-2024-4332

Improper Authentication in Tripwire Enterprise 9.1.0 APIs

Published Jun 3, 2024 CVSS 4.0 · 9.3 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
An authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in the REST and SOAP API components of Tripwire Enterprise (TE) 9.1.0 when TE is configured to use LDAP/Active Directory SAML authentication and its optional "Auto-synchronize LDAP Users, Roles, and Groups" feature is enabled. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication if a valid username is known. Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow remote attackers to gain privileged access to the APIs and lead to unauthorized information disclosure or modification.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Upgrade to Tripwire Enterprise 9.1.1 or higher to remediate the vulnerability.


Vendor Workaround

To mitigate this issue in TE 9.1.0, disable the "Auto-synchronize LDAP Users, Roles, and Groups" feature when using LDAP/Active Directory SAML authentication. Be aware that doing so will disable API functionality. To continue using the APIs, configure an alternate login method or upgrade to TE 9.1.1 or higher.
