Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2023-24689 is a Mojoportal issue where a logged-in attacker can manipulate a design tool parameter to list CSS files under the web server root. The direct impact is limited information disclosure, but exposed file listings can help an attacker map the site and plan later attacks.
Executive priority
Treat this as a moderate-priority hardening item. It is not documented as actively exploited in the provided sources, but affected internet-facing Mojoportal sites should be remediated because the bug can expose file structure details to logged-in attackers.
Technical view
Mojoportal v2.7.0.0 and below has a CWE-22 path traversal issue in /DesignTools/ManageSkin.aspx. Manipulating the "s" parameter can allow an authenticated network attacker to enumerate CSS files in the web root. CVSS 3.1 is 4.3: low complexity, privileges required, no user interaction, confidentiality impact only.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to organizations running Mojoportal v2.7.0.0 or earlier with authenticated access to the DesignTools ManageSkin page. Public internet exposure increases reconnaissance value, but the source bundle does not identify affected CPEs or hosting patterns.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or cited evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerability requires authentication and appears limited to listing CSS files, so it is more useful for reconnaissance than direct compromise based on available evidence.
Researcher notes
Evidence supports authenticated path traversal-style file enumeration through the s parameter, but not broader file read, code execution, unauthenticated access, or a named patch. Avoid expanding impact beyond CSS file listing unless vendor advisories or testing provide additional proof.
Mitigation direction
- Check Mojoportal vendor or project guidance for a fixed release or official workaround.
- Limit DesignTools and ManageSkin access to trusted administrative users only.
- Remove or disable unnecessary authenticated accounts with design-tool access.
- Monitor web logs for unusual ManageSkin.aspx requests involving the s parameter.
- Prioritize upgrade planning for Mojoportal v2.7.0.0 and earlier deployments.
Validation and detection
- Inventory sites running Mojoportal and record exact version numbers.
- Confirm whether /DesignTools/ManageSkin.aspx is reachable by authenticated non-admin users.
- Review access controls around design and skin management functions.
- Inspect logs for unexpected authenticated requests to ManageSkin.aspx.
- Verify any vendor-recommended update or workaround blocks unintended CSS file enumeration.
