The CVSS score of 9.6 indicates that minimal skill is required for exploitation, and the impact is severe. Although CVE-2024-6107 is not currently on the CISA KEV list, its critical nature warrants treatment as a top-priority patch to prevent a potential infrastructure-wide compromise.

Executive Summary:
A critical vulnerability has been identified in the h2oai/h2o-3 data analysis platform, which allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to write arbitrary files to the server. Successful exploitation could lead to remote code execution, granting the attacker complete control over the affected system, the ability to steal sensitive data, and pivot to other systems within the network.

Vulnerability Details

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5986

Affected Software: h2oai/h2o-3

Affected Versions: Version 3.46.0.1 is confirmed to be vulnerable. See vendor advisory for a complete list of affected versions.

Vulnerability: This vulnerability is an arbitrary file write flaw that can be exploited through a two-step process. First, an attacker sends a specially crafted request to the /3/Parse API endpoint to create an in-memory data frame from an empty file, injecting malicious content into the frame's header. Second, the attacker uses the /3/Frames/framename/export endpoint to save this malicious frame to a file on the server's filesystem, specifying an arbitrary path and filename. This allows the attacker to overwrite critical system files, such as SSH authorized keys (~/.ssh/authorized_keys), web application scripts, or system cron jobs, leading to remote code execution.

Business Impact

This vulnerability is rated as critical severity with a CVSS score of 9.1. Exploitation could lead to a complete compromise of the server hosting the h2o-3 software. The potential business impact is severe, including theft of sensitive corporate or customer data processed by the platform, reputational damage, and significant operational disruption. An attacker with full system access could also use the compromised server as a foothold to launch further attacks against the internal network, escalating the scope of the breach.

Remediation Plan

Immediate Action: Immediately apply the security patch provided by the vendor. The primary remediation is to update the h2oai/h2o-3 software to the latest version that addresses this vulnerability. After patching, review system logs for any signs of compromise prior to the update.
