Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as an Uncaught Exception (CWE-248) within the '/api/migration' endpoint of the Suprema BioStar 2 Server. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger this exception by sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request. Because the application fails to handle the resulting error, critical server processes halt, leading to a complete Denial of Service (DoS). Exploitation requires no user interaction or privileges and results in the failure of access control readers and third-party integrations until a manual service restart is performed. The vendor has released patches to address this issue.
