CVE-2024-10081 is a critical-severity Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel (CWE-288) vulnerability in Ericsson Codechecker. Its CVSS base score is 10.0 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Fallback Channels (T1008); ranked in the top 2% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-25 (Reference Monitor) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — 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.
CodeChecker, an analyzer tooling, defect database and viewer extension for the Clang Static Analyzer and Clang Tidy, is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability in all versions through 6.24.1. The flaw occurs when an API URL ends with the string Authentication, allowing access to every other API endpoint without credentials. This grants superuser privileges over functions such as adding, editing, or removing products.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the bypass simply by crafting requests to the affected API paths. Successful exploitation yields full control over the product-management and related endpoints, enabling arbitrary modification or deletion of analysis data and configuration.
The referenced GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-f3f8-vx3w-hp5q describes the issue and confirms that the vulnerability is resolved in CodeChecker 6.24.2. The advisory recommends upgrading to the patched release to eliminate the bypass.
The associated EPSS score stands at 0.7391 with no material increase after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Requires a tamperproof, always-invoked reference monitor that structurally blocks bypass via any alternate path.
Enforces authorization checks on every logical access path, eliminating unauthenticated alternate channels.
Mandates unique identification and authentication for all organizational users, covering the primary authentication requirement.
Transmission confidentiality and integrity requirements apply to all transmitted data, preventing weaker protection on secondary channels.
Information flow enforcement requires consistent authorization and control over every path, directly stopping unequal protection of alternate channels.
Controls all external and key internal interfaces, reducing the chance of unauthenticated alternate channels.
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.
Requiring authentication on every channel and path directly eliminates alternate-path bypasses.
Enforcing authorizations and least privilege across all access vectors prevents unauthenticated alternate paths.
Protecting all data-in-transit directly mitigates unequal channel protection though the control addresses broader transit scenarios.
Protecting networks and environments from unauthorized logical access blocks bypass via undocumented channels.
Network monitoring can surface use of unprotected alternate channels but does not prevent the design flaw.

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.
Security testing can detect alternate-path bypasses but does not prevent them in production.
Access restrictions may cover primary paths but leave alternate channels unprotected unless explicitly extended.
Secure authentication control directly mitigates bypass by requiring strong, consistent authentication on all paths.
Access control policy directly addresses alternate authentication paths by requiring all channels to enforce authentication.
Authentication information management ensures credentials and mechanisms are consistently applied across all access paths.
Access rights provisioning and review prevent bypass via unmonitored or alternate channels.
