Summary

CVE-2024-11311 is a critical-severity Relative Path Traversal (CWE-23) vulnerability in Trcore Dvc. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 31% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

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.

The DVC software from TRCore contains a path traversal flaw combined with unrestricted file upload handling, tracked as CVE-2024-11311. The issue stems from missing directory restrictions and file-type validation during uploads, enabling writes to arbitrary locations on the server. It carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 and is also associated with CWE-23, CWE-434, and CWE-22.

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit the vulnerability over the network to upload arbitrary files, including webshells, into any directory. Successful exploitation grants full control over the affected system, allowing arbitrary code execution with impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Public advisories from the Taiwan Computer Emergency Response Team (TW-CERT) detail the issue at the referenced URLs and are the primary sources for further technical guidance.

The EPSS score for this CVE has remained flat at 0.0684 with no material increase since disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Explicit validation of path inputs stops .. sequences from ever being interpreted by the file system.

SI-3 Malicious Code Protection good match

Malicious-code protection at entry points blocks dangerous file types from being accepted and executed.

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement partial match

Information-flow rules can be configured to reject traversals that would move data outside an approved directory boundary.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match

Least privilege reduces the set of reachable files even when a traversal succeeds.

CM-7 Least Functionality partial match

Least functionality restricts the file types and automatic processing capabilities the system will accept.

PR.PS-05 mostly match
prevents

Restricting execution of unauthorized software directly blocks dangerous uploaded files from running.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and path sanitization that prevent relative traversal.

PR.PS-01 partial match
prevents

Hardened configuration baselines can enforce allowed file types and processing rules.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

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.

PR.AA-05 none match
prevents

PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis, but does not itself implement the fix.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and path-handling controls that directly prevent relative path traversal.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against path traversal and other injection flaws.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles include directory isolation and canonicalization, reducing but not eliminating traversal risk.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards require neutralizing path traversal sequences, directly addressing CWE-23.

A.8.3 Information access restriction partial match
mitigates

Information access restriction limits which files can be reached, mitigating impact but not preventing the traversal flaw.
