CVE-2024-0105
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-0105 is a high-severity Improper Handling of Insufficient Privileges (CWE-274) vulnerability in Custhelp (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 8.9 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Junk Data (T1001.001); ranked at the 18th 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 AC-24 (Access Control Decisions) and AC-25 (Reference Monitor) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Always-invoked reference monitor guarantees privilege checks occur and cannot be bypassed or mishandled.
Enforces approved authorizations so insufficient privileges produce a proper denial instead of mishandled failure.
Requires every access request to be decided against current authorizations, preventing ad-hoc privilege handling.
Least-privilege assignment reduces the frequency of operations that encounter insufficient privileges.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Enforcing least-privilege access policies directly prevents improper handling of insufficient privileges.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
A.5.15 only requires defining a topic-specific access control policy and determining requirements; it does not itself enforce authorizations or handle insufficient-privilege cases at runtime, so the weakness can still be exploited (per the owner's labeling rule: policy/dependency controls do not prevent unless other controls act on them).
Access-rights provisioning and review reduce privilege gaps, yet do not address the software’s failure to handle insufficient privileges gracefully.
Privileged-access-rights control directly limits the situations in which insufficient privileges can occur.
