Summary

CVE-2024-0840 is a high-severity Improper Neutralization of Parameter/Argument Delimiters (CWE-141) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 44% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

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 good match

Input validation directly requires checking and neutralizing delimiter characters in received data before forwarding to downstream components.

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.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require input neutralization to prevent delimiter injection.

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.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect delimiter issues but does not itself implement the neutralization.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and sanitization that directly prevents delimiter injection.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for neutralizing special characters in inputs passed to downstream components.

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

Secure system architecture principles encourage safe interfaces but do not prescribe delimiter neutralization.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards require proper escaping or neutralization of parameter delimiters in all downstream calls.
