4.8 · MEDIUM
Published May 27, 2024 audiobookshelf CWE-79 EPSS 0.83% (55th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-35236 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting audiobookshelf audiobookshelf. It was published on May 27, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.8 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.8, rated MEDIUM. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

Audiobookshelf is a self-hosted audiobook and podcast server. Prior to version 2.10.0, opening an ebook with malicious scripts inside leads to code execution inside the browsing context. Attacking a user with high privileges (upload, creation of libraries) can lead to remote code execution (RCE) in the worst case. This was tested on version 2.9.0 on Windows, but an arbitrary file write is powerful enough as is and should easily lead to RCE on Linux, too. Version 2.10.0 contains a patch for the vulnerability.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from audiobookshelf. Update audiobookshelf to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
