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 Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked in the top 28% 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.

Vulnerability Data

The DVC from TRCore has a Path Traversal vulnerability and does not restrict the types of uploaded files. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to upload arbitrary files to any directory, leading to arbitrary code execution by uploading webshells.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PR.PS-02 partial match

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.

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

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

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