CVE-2024-34696 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.geoserver:gs-wfs to version 2.24.4, 2.25.1 or higher.
Overview
org.geoserver:gs-wfs is a Web Feature Service module.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure through the Server Status page and REST API endpoint. An attacker can access sensitive environmental variables and Java properties by exploiting administrative privileges to view these details.
Notes
This issue defeats more sophisticated controls like break-glass access to secrets or role accounts.
By default, GeoServer only allows same-origin authenticated API access, thus limiting the scope for a third-party attacker to use an administrator’s credentials to gain access to credentials.
Administrators are recommended to use alternative mechanisms to access environment variables.
