Summary

CVE-2024-11454 is a high-severity Untrusted Search Path (CWE-426) vulnerability in Autodesk Revit. Its CVSS base score is 7.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Path Interception by Unquoted Path (T1574.009); 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 CM-6 (Configuration Settings) and CM-7 (Least Functionality) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

CM-6 Configuration Settings good match

Secure baseline settings can enforce absolute, organization-controlled paths for critical resources.

CM-7 Least Functionality partial match

Least-functionality configuration can prohibit unapproved directories or executables from being reachable via search paths.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Engineering principles such as trusted paths, complete mediation, and least privilege directly require hard-coded or validated search paths instead of external ones.

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.PS-01 partial match
blocks

Hardened configuration baselines can enforce safe search paths and restrict environment variables that enable the weakness.

PR.PS-05 partial match
blocks

Preventing execution of unauthorized code directly blocks the malicious binaries that an untrusted search path would load.

PR.PS-06 partial match
blocks

Secure development practices include avoiding or sanitizing externally influenced search paths in application code.
