Summary

CVE-2024-10405 is a medium-severity Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm (CWE-327) vulnerability in Broadcom Brocade Sannav. Its CVSS base score is 6.9 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Adversary-in-the-Middle (T1557); ranked at the 9th 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) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-13 Cryptographic Protection good match

SC-13 requires selection and implementation of specific cryptography types, directly stopping use of broken algorithms.

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.

PR.DS-01 partial match
prevents

PR.DS-01 promotes encryption for data-at-rest but never requires strong algorithms, leaving CWE-327 fully possible; the weakness is also far broader than data-at-rest so one narrow control removes none of its total risk.

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.8.24 Use of cryptography mostly match
prevents

Mandating approved algorithms, cipher strength and usage standards directly stops the selection of broken or weak cryptographic primitives that attackers can exploit.

A.5.31 Legal, statutory, regulatory and contractual requirements partial match
prevents

The explicit call-out of cryptography-related legal constraints (import/export, key escrow, digital-signature validity) reduces the likelihood that an organization will adopt broken or non-compliant cryptographic algorithms that violate those rules.

A.5.6 Contact with special interest groups partial match
prevents

Access to current specialist guidance and early vulnerability alerts enables timely replacement of broken or risky cryptographic algorithms with stronger alternatives.
