CVE-2023-49103 Analysis
A critical vulnerability in ownCloud, a widely-used business tool for enterprise-grade file sync and sharing, identified as CVE-2023-49103 is being massively leveraged by hackers in ongoing attacks. Successful exploitation attempts enable attackers to steal sensitive info, such as admin and mail server credentials, or license keys, exposing global organizations to data breach risks.
OwnCloud recently issued a public notice, revealing a maximum severe vulnerability rated with a top CVSS score of 10. CVE-2023-49103 impacts OwnCloud's Graph API app versions 0.2.0 through 0.3.0. The app's dependency on an external library gives attackers the green light to manipulate the API-provided URL.
GreyNoise team provided in-depth research into the CVE-2023-49103 exploit details based on the observed in-the-wild attacks weaponizing the flaw in the third decade of November.
Apart from CVE-2023-49103, OwnCloud also reported two other critical security flaws in its software — CVE-2023-49105, an authentication bypass in the WebDAV API with a CVSS score of 9.8, and CVE-2023-49104, a subdomain validation bypass vulnerability earning a lower CVSS rating of 8.7.
OwnCloud stresses that simply removing the Graph API app cannot resolve all the issues. As recommended CVE-2023-49103 mitigation measures, defenders suggest removing the file "owncloud/apps/graphapi/vendor/microsoft/microsoft-graph/tests/GetPhpInfo.php," deactivating the "phpinfo" function in Docker containers, and fully updating potentially compromised credentials. The ownCloud admins are strongly recommended to instantly apply the suggested fixes and library updates to remediate the risks.
All three above-mentioned vulnerabilities can potentially expose organizations to data breaches and phishing attacks while posing threats to the system integrity.
The increasing volumes of disclosed vulnerabilities impacting popular software products encourage organizations to continuously strengthen their cyber defense capabilities. Rely on the Threat Detection Marketplace to reach the latest detection algorithms against CVEs, zero-days, and emerging threats of any scale and seamlessly implement the proactive cybersecurity strategy into your organization's procedures.
