Summary
CVE-2024-11238 is a medium-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Landray Ekp. Its CVSS base score is 6.9 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow (T1003.008); ranked in the top 7% 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 AC-3 (Access Enforcement) 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-2024-11238 is a path traversal vulnerability classified as critical and tracked under CWE-22. It affects the Landray EKP platform up to version 16.0, specifically the delPreviewFile function exposed at the endpoint /sys/ui/sys_ui_component/sysUiComponent.do?method=delPreviewFile. The flaw arises from improper handling of the directoryPath argument, which can be manipulated to traverse directories on the server.
Remote attackers with no authentication or user interaction required can exploit the issue over the network. Successful exploitation allows modification or deletion of files outside the intended directory scope, resulting in limited integrity and availability impacts as reflected in the CVSS 6.9 vector.
No vendor patch or mitigation guidance is available, as Landray was notified prior to disclosure but did not respond. Public exploit details have been released, and the EPSS score has reached a peak of 0.1453 with a current value of 0.1200.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.
Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.
Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.

Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.
