Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:HSummary
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 Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 19th 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.
Privileged-access-rights control directly limits the situations in which insufficient privileges can occur.
Information-access-restriction mechanisms enforce least-privilege checks that mitigate the weakness at runtime.
Access control policy defines privilege boundaries but does not guarantee correct runtime handling when privileges prove insufficient.
Access-rights provisioning and review reduce privilege gaps, yet do not address the software’s failure to handle insufficient privileges gracefully.
Restricting privileged utilities reduces exposure but does not address how the application handles privilege shortfalls.
Secure SDLC practices can include privilege checks, yet the control itself does not mandate handling of insufficient privileges.
