Summary

CVE-2024-11343 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Progress Telerik Document Processing Libraries. Its CVSS base score is 8.3 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked in the top 49% 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.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2024-11343 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in Progress Telerik Document Processing Libraries, affecting versions prior to 2025 Q1 (2025.1.205). The flaw occurs when unzipping an archive, enabling arbitrary file system access. It has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L), indicating high severity due to its potential for significant data exposure and modification.

An attacker requires low privileges (PR:L) to exploit this vulnerability over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). Exploitation allows high confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as reading or overwriting arbitrary files on the file system, alongside low availability disruption.

The Telerik advisory at https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/knowledge-base/kb-security-path-traversal-cve-2024-11343 recommends upgrading to version 2025.1.205 or later to mitigate the issue.

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

Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match

Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.

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.PS-02 partial match
blocks

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
blocks

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