CVE-2024-2053: Artica Proxy Unauthenticated LFI Protection Bypass Vulnerability
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Plan (action score 43/100)
- A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 44.5% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 98.7% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
Add it to your regular patch cycle. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
The Artica Proxy administrative web application will deserialize arbitrary PHP objects supplied by unauthenticated users and subsequently enable code execution as the "www-data" user. This issue was demonstrated on version 4.50 of the The Artica-Proxy administrative web application attempts to prevent local file inclusion. These protections can be bypassed and arbitrary file requests supplied by unauthenticated users will be returned according to the privileges of the "www-data" user.
