Summary

CVE-2024-13274 is a medium-severity Improper Control of Interaction Frequency (CWE-799) vulnerability in Getopensocial Open Social. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Brute Force (T1110); ranked at the 29th 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 AC-10 (Concurrent Session Control) and AC-7 (Unsuccessful Logon Attempts) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-10 Concurrent Session Control good match

ac-10 enforces a hard limit on concurrent sessions per user, directly stopping uncontrolled interaction frequency at the session level.

AC-7 Unsuccessful Logon Attempts good match

ac-7 directly enforces a limit on the frequency of invalid authentication attempts, structurally preventing the weakness for that interaction class.

SC-5 Denial-of-service Protection partial match

sc-5 reduces the impact of excessive request volume (DoS) but does not itself impose the frequency controls whose absence defines the weakness.

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.IR-01 partial match
prevents

Protecting networks from unauthorized usage can incorporate rate limiting to bound interaction frequency.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.20 Networks security partial match
mitigates

Network security controls can enforce rate limiting and throttling at the perimeter.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly include controls on interaction frequency and throttling.

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

Secure architecture principles recommend rate-limiting and resource-management mechanisms.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding practices can embed input-frequency and throttling checks in code.

A.8.6 Capacity management partial match
degrades

Capacity management directly limits request rates and resource exhaustion that CWE-799 describes.
