CVE-2024-24562Network attack vector

Browser content compromise via missing security headers

Published Mar 14, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Protection mechanism failure in vantage6 UI 4.2.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to expose or alter browser-rendered content. The Docker image's nginx configuration omits HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Cache-Control, and Content-Security-Policy response headers. Exploitation requires user interaction with attacker-controlled content, and the reported impact is limited to browser-side confidentiality and integrity.
