NONE Summary
A vulnerability has been identified in Mendix Runtime V10 (All versions < V10.16.0 only if the basic authentication mechanism is used by the application), Mendix Runtime V10.12 (All versions < V10.12.7 only if the basic authentication mechanism is used by the application), Mendix Runtime V10.6 (All versions < V10.6.15 only if the basic authentication mechanism is used by the application), Mendix Runtime V8 (All versions), Mendix Runtime V9 (All versions < V9.24.29 only if the basic authentication mechanism is used by the application). The basic authentication implementation of affected applications contains a race condition vulnerability which could allow unauthenticated remote attackers to circumvent default account lockout measures.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Leveraging Race Conditions This attack targets a race condition occurring when multiple processes access and manipulate the same resource concurrently and the outcome of the execution depends on the particular order in which the access takes place. The attacker can leverage a race condition by "running the race", modifying the resource and modifying the normal execution flow. For instance a race condition can occur while accessing a file, the attacker can trick the system by replacing the original file with his version and cause the system to read the malicious file.
- Leveraging Time-of-Check and Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) Race Conditions This attack targets a race condition occurring between the time of check (state) for a resource and the time of use of a resource. The typical example is the file access. The attacker can leverage a file access race condition by "running the race", meaning that he would modify the resource between the first time the target program accesses the file and the time the target program uses the file. During that period of time, the attacker could do something such as replace the file and cause an escalation of privilege.
