CVE-2024-36823 is an information disclosure vulnerability impacting Ninjaframework Ninja version 7.0.0. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.5, indicating a high-severity risk. According to the reported CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), the vulnerability is exploitable over the network without requiring authentication or user interaction. A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit has been released publicly, increasing the likelihood of opportunistic exploitation attempts against unpatched instances. Defenders should treat internet-facing instances of Ninja 7.0.0 as potentially vulnerable to unauthorized data access.

Impact

The vulnerability allows for high-impact unauthorized disclosure of information. If successfully exploited, an unauthenticated remote attacker can access sensitive data protected by the Ninja framework. Because the exploit is network-based and requires no privileges or interaction, it presents a significant risk to the confidentiality of any data processed or stored by affected Ninja 7.0.0 deployments.
