Summary

CVE-2024-13949 is a medium-severity Improper Output Neutralization for Logs (CWE-117) vulnerability in Abb (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 6.9 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); 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 SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect output neutralization when log messages are constructed from untrusted input.

SI-10 Information Input Validation partial match

Input validation reduces the chance that specially crafted data reaches log-message construction routines.

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-06 partial match
blocks

Secure SDLC practices and coding standards directly require output sanitization for logs.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
removes

A.8.15 records, protects, and analyzes logs but never mandates or performs output neutralization/escaping of external data written into log messages, so the first-party code defect named by CWE-117 remains present after the control is implemented

A.8.16 Monitoring activities partial match
finds

Monitoring activities rely on trustworthy logs but do not ensure log message integrity.

A.8.19 Installation of software on operational systems partial match
removes
A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
blocks

Secure SDLC includes coding standards that reduce log-related weaknesses but does not specifically address logging.
