The Threat: CVE-2024-27564 in Action
CVE-2024-27564 is an SSRF vulnerability in OpenAI’s ChatGPT that lets attackers inject harmful URLs, causing the application to make unintended requests.
Key Findings:
Over 10K attack attempts in a week observed from multiple attackers.
Top targeted industry and geo are Government organisations in the US.
35% of companies analyzed were unprotected due to misconfigured Intrusion Prevention Systems in their NextGenFirewall or WebApplicationFirewall
Despite its low EPSS rating, this vulnerability has already become a real-world attack vector, proving that severity scores don’t dictate actual risk.
Financial Sector: A Prime Target
Veriti’s research highlights that financial institutions are prime targets for attacks using CVE-2024-27564. Banks and fintech companies rely on AI services and APIs, which makes them susceptible to SSRF attacks that can compromise internal resources or steal sensitive information.
These attacks could lead to:
Data breaches
Unauthorized transactions
Regulatory penalties
Reputational damage
Ignoring medium-severity vulnerabilities is a costly mistake, particularly for high-value financial organizations.
