3.5 · LOW
Published Mar 27, 2024 haxx CWE-436 EPSS 1.68% (75th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-2004 is a low-severity vulnerability affecting haxx curl. It was published on March 27, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.5 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.5, rated LOW. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

When a protocol selection parameter option disables all protocols without adding any then the default set of protocols would remain in the allowed set due to an error in the logic for removing protocols. The below command would perform a request to curl.se with a plaintext protocol which has been explicitly disabled. curl --proto -all,-http http://curl.se The flaw is only present if the set of selected protocols disables the entire set of available protocols, in itself a command with no practical use and therefore unlikely to be encountered in real situations. The curl security team has thus assessed this to be low severity bug.

Remediation
