Summary

CVE-2024-0055 is a medium-severity Improper Neutralization of Wildcards or Matching Symbols (CWE-155) vulnerability in Axis OS (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked at the 48th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation partial match

Input validation directly requires checking and sanitizing special elements such as wildcards before they are passed downstream.

PR.PS-06 partial match

Secure SDLC practices directly require input neutralization to block wildcard injection.

A.7.5 Protecting against physical and environmental threats partial match

A.8.19 Installation of software on operational systems partial match
removes
A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
blocks

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and sanitization that directly prevents wildcard injection.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
blocks

A.8.26 requires identifying and specifying requirements (incl. resilience against SQL injections, input validation, and output controls) that can address wildcard neutralization when derived from risk assessment, but does not mandate or enforce their correct implementation in code.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
blocks

A.8.27 mandates security-by-design principles (including data validation/sanitization, distrust external input, least privilege, defense-in-depth) that reach wildcard neutralization when applied to input flows, but the clause only requires establishing/reviewing/applying the principles and does not itself enforce their correct implementation in every relevant code path or downstream component.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly require proper escaping or neutralization of wildcard and matching symbols.
