CVE-2024-0919
RCE in Trendnet Tew-815Dap Firmware 1.0.2.0
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/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-2024-0919 is a high-severity Command Injection (CWE-77) vulnerability in Trendnet Tew-815Dap Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, ranked in the top 2% 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 SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-0919 is a command-injection vulnerability in the TRENDnet TEW-815DAP wireless access point running firmware 1.0.2.0. It resides in the do_setNTP function of the POST Request Handler, where unsanitized values supplied to the NtpDstStart and NtpDstEnd parameters are passed to an operating-system command. The flaw is tracked as CWE-77 and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8.
An attacker who can authenticate to the device’s web interface (low-privilege account, no user interaction required) may submit a crafted HTTP POST request that results in arbitrary command execution on the underlying system. Successful exploitation grants the attacker full control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device. The attack is entirely remote and the proof-of-concept has already been published.
The vendor was notified prior to disclosure but did not respond or issue a patch. Public references, including the detailed Notion report, contain only the exploit description and do not list work-arounds or firmware updates. The EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.4768 (currently 0.3681), indicating measurable post-disclosure interest in the flaw.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover command-construction flaws before deployment.
Input validation directly stops construction of commands from untrusted data containing special elements.
Secure engineering principles include proper neutralization and safe command construction practices.
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.8.25 mandates secure SDLC practices including secure coding guidelines, security requirements, checkpoints, testing (scans/penetration), and developer training that reduce command injection defects, but leaves a minority slice (e.g. incomplete implementation of those practices, outsourced development without full assurance, or post-SDLC changes) where the weakness can still arise and be exploitable.
Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection flaws including command injection.
A.8.27 mandates security-by-design principles (e.g. distrust external input, secure session control, data validation/sanitization, least privilege) and design reviews that can stop command injection from being introduced, but this is only a minority slice of CWE-77 because the weakness can still arise in code that bypasses those principles, in non-reviewed components, or in runtime injection vectors the architecture review does not reach.
Secure coding standards require proper escaping and parameterization of commands, directly eliminating CWE-77.
Security testing in development catches command-injection vulnerabilities before release.
Hardening callouts derived
DISA STIG baselines are authored against specific weaknesses. Where this CVE cites a broad weakness class, the mapping is not asserted at that abstraction (owner ruling, 2026-09-25: grade only at Base and below), so no rule is shown here rather than a rule shown against the wrong grain.
- No fine-grained STIG row for CWE-77, a class-level weakness, and none of its children carries one either.
