Routine

HIGH 7.7UPGRADE

CVE-2024-24771 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.7) affecting open forms. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Open Forms allows users create and publish smart forms. Versions prior to 2.2.9, 2.3.7, 2.4.5, and 2.5.2 contain a non-exploitable multi-factor authentication weakness. Superusers who have their credentials (username + password) compromised could potentially have the second-factor authentication bypassed if an attacker somehow managed to authenticate to Open Forms. The maintainers of Open Forms do not believe it is or has been possible to perform

Why this priority

High severity

A fixed release or distro patch exists.

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 2.3.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison open-forms sudo apt install open-forms=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.3.0> sudo apt-mark hold open-forms

dnf --showduplicates list open-forms sudo dnf downgrade open-forms-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.3.0> sudo dnf versionlock add open-forms

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
