Summary
Authentication bypass occurs when the API URL ends with Authentication, Configuration or ServerInfo. This bypass allows superuser access to all API endpoints other than Authentication. These endpoints include the ability to add, edit, and remove products, among others.
Details
All endpoints, apart from the /Authentication is affected by the vulnerability.
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated users to access all API functionality.
You can look for the following pattern in the logs to check if the vulnerabilty was exploited:
Note that the url starts with v and contains a valid CodeChecker endpoint, but it ends in Authentication, Configuration or ServerInfo and it was made by an Anonymous user.
Impact
This authentication bypass allows querying, adding, changing, and deleting Products contained on the CodeChecker server, without authentication, by an anonymous user.
CVE-2024-10081 has a CVSS score of 10.0 (Critical). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (6.24.2); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Kodem Kai can prioritize this vulnerability in your dependency tree and generate a fix recommendation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2024-10081? CVE-2024-10081 is a critical-severity security vulnerability in codechecker (pip), affecting versions < 6.24.2. It is fixed in 6.24.2.
- How severe is CVE-2024-10081? CVE-2024-10081 has a CVSS score of 10.0 (Critical). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
- Which versions of codechecker are affected by CVE-2024-10081? codechecker (pip) versions < 6.24.2 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2024-10081? Yes. CVE-2024-10081 is fixed in 6.24.2. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2024-10081 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2024-10081 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2024-10081 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
- How do I fix CVE-2024-10081? Upgrade
codecheckerto 6.24.2 or later.
