Title: Artica Proxy Loopback Services Remotely Accessible Unauthenticated
Advisory ID: KL-001-2024-004
Publication Date: 2024.03.05
Publication URL: https://korelogic.com/Resources/Advisories/KL-001-2024-004.txt


1. Vulnerability Details

      Affected Vendor: Artica
      Affected Product: Artica Proxy
      Affected Version: 4.50
      Platform: Debian 10 LTS
      CWE Classification: CWE-288: Authentication Bypass Using an
                          Alternate Path or Channel, CWE-552: Files
                          or Directories Accessible to External
                          Parties
      CVE ID: CVE-2024-2056


2. Vulnerability Description

     Services that are running and bound to the loopback
     interface on the Artica Proxy are accessible through
     the proxy service. In particular, the "tailon" service is
     running as the root user, is bound to the loopback interface,
     and is listening on TCP port 7050. Security issues associated
     with exposing this network service are documented at
     https://github.com/gvalkov/tailon#security. Using the tailon
     service, the contents of any file on the Artica Proxy can be
     viewed.
