Headline
GHSA-cm46-gqf4-mv4f: Orchid Platform has Method Exposure Vulnerability in Modals
Impact
This vulnerability is a method exposure issue (CWE-749: Exposed Dangerous Method or Function) in the Orchid Platform’s asynchronous modal functionality, affecting users of Orchid Platform version 8 through 14.42.x. Attackers could exploit this vulnerability to call arbitrary methods within the Screen class, leading to potential brute force of database tables, validation checks against user credentials, and disclosure of the server’s real IP address.
Patches
The issue has been patched in the latest release, version 14.43.0, released on November 6, 2024. Users should upgrade to version 14.43.0 or later to address this vulnerability.
Workarounds
If upgrading to version 14.43.0 is not immediately possible, you can mitigate the vulnerability by implementing middleware to intercept and validate requests to asynchronous modal endpoints, allowing only approved methods and parameters.
