CVE-2024-52801 is a medium-severity use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm vulnerability in github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/v2 (go), affecting versions >= 2.3.0, < 2.6.4. It is fixed in 2.6.4.
Impact The OpenID Connect implementation, in the affected SFTPGo versions, allows authenticated users to brute force session cookies and thereby gain access to other users' data, since the cookies are generated predictably using the xid library and are therefore unique but not cryptographically secure. Patches This issue was fixed in version v2.6.4, where cookies are opaque and cryptographically secure strings.

The application uses a cryptographic algorithm known to have weaknesses, such as MD5, SHA-1, or DES. Typical impact: compromised confidentiality or integrity of protected data.

github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/v2 (>= 2.3.0, < 2.6.4)github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/v2 → 2.6.4 (go)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 instead of chasing every advisory.
Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether CVE-2024-52801 is reachable in your applications. Explore open-source security for your team.

github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/v2 (go) versions >= 2.3.0, < 2.6.4 is affected.
Yes. CVE-2024-52801 is fixed in 2.6.4. Upgrade to this version or later.
Whether CVE-2024-52801 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.

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.
