CVE-2024-10237
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/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-2024-10237 is a high-severity Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity (CWE-345) vulnerability in Supermicro MBD-X12DPG-OA6 (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 7.2 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Junk Data (T1001.001); ranked at the 15th 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 SC-13 (Cryptographic Protection) and SC-23 (Session Authenticity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-10237, published on 2025-02-04, is a vulnerability in the BMC firmware image authentication design of the Supermicro MBD-X12DPG-OA6 motherboard. It enables an attacker to modify the firmware image to bypass BMC inspection and the signature verification process. The issue maps to CWE-345 and CWE-347, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network by an attacker with high privileges, such as privileged BMC access, requiring low complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation grants high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, allowing the attacker to install unauthorized firmware modifications and potentially achieve full BMC compromise.
Supermicro has issued a security advisory at https://www.supermicro.com/en/support/security_BMC_IPMI_Jan_2025 addressing this BMC/IPMI vulnerability.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Explicit requirement to protect session authenticity structurally prevents the weakness for communications.
Requiring cryptographic protection mechanisms forces correct signature verification to be implemented for data protection.
Integrity verification tools detect (but do not stop) the acceptance of data lacking authenticity.
Associating security attributes with exchanged information supports verification of authenticity.
Integrity protection on transmitted data directly stops acceptance of unauthenticated or altered data.

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.
Requires assessing authenticity and integrity of acquired assets, which commonly relies on signature verification but is limited to pre-acquisition.
Digital signatures are explicitly cited to protect integrity of data-at-rest, so proper verification directly mitigates the weakness.
Digital signatures are explicitly cited to protect integrity of data-in-transit, so proper verification directly mitigates the weakness.
Secure SDLC practices include code signing and signature verification requirements, addressing the weakness during development.
