The Apache Software Foundation has issued critical security updates to address three severe vulnerabilities found in MINA, HugeGraph-Server, and Traffic Control products. These flaws, if exploited, could allow attackers to compromise systems. The most critical bug affects the Traffic Control platform, a web content distribution system, where attackers with admin or operations roles can inject malicious SQL commands by manipulating input fields through PUT requests, potentially leading to data breaches and complete database compromise.
The vulnerability in Traffic Control, identified as CVE-2024-45387, has a severity score of 9.9 and requires immediate patching. The flaw could allow unauthorized access, modification, or deletion of data, severely impacting the integrity and availability of CDN services. Security experts emphasize the urgency of applying the patches due to the significant role these applications play in managing web content and data. Other vulnerabilities have also been addressed, including one in Apache MINA, with a critical score of 10 out of 10, which further highlights the severity of the situation.
